At Zolowear, babies aren't the only ones drooling over the slings. Since 2001, Zolowear has been making award-winning ring slings in gorgeous silk brocades, giving mothers and babies a convenient, elegant way to stay connected. Zolowear Silk Brocade Ring Slings come in a variety of gorgeous, stylish fabrics, perfect for a formal occasion, or to dress-up a pair of jeans. While some people look for a neutral sling that will match everything, at Zolowear they believe in the baby carrier as an accessory. You don't wear the same shoes or bag every day. Why should you wear the same sling?

The feel of silk against the skin is luxurious for you and your baby. Silk is an insulator, though, and the sling can become warm in very hot weather. Zolowear Silk Brocade Ring Slings are proudly made in Austin, Texas, where they're comfortably worn year-round, but are not a good choice outside in the Texas summer. The Zolowear Silk Brocade Ring Sling is made from two layers of silk: a luscious, heavyweight brocade and a textured dupioni. The combination of the two and the texture of the dupioni keeps the sling from slipping in the rings.

The comfortably wide shoulder on the Zolowear Silk Brocade Ring Sling spreads the baby's weight across your entire shoulder and back. Every Zolowear Silk Brocade Ring Sling has a pocket with a secure zipper closure, making it double as a baby carrier and a purse. The Zolowear Silk Brocade Ring Sling is unpadded, which makes it cooler in warm weather, and much more adjustable than a padded ring sling. The lack of padding also makes the Zolowear Silk Brocade Ring Sling extremely compact and easy to fold into a diaper bag. The tail of the Zolowear Silk Brocade Ring Sling is not just beautiful and elegant, it a nursing cover, a burp cloth, or even a sun shade in the car.

The Zolowear Silk Brocade Ring Sling fits any child, from newborn to toddler. One size fits most babywearers, but a variety of sizes are available for a perfect fit. Ring Slings are more adjustable than pouches, and better for supporting a young baby in an upright, tummy-to-tummy hold. The adjustability of a ring sling is also ideal for achieving the perfect position for breastfeeding in the Zolowear Silk Brocade Ring Sling.

Silk might seem high maintenance, but it's not. The Zolowear Silk Brocade Ring Sling is machine washable. It will lose a bit of sheen and gain a bit of softness from machine washing. Dry clean to keep that shiny new look.

Wearing your baby in a Zolowear Silk Brocade Ring Sling is as safe as carrying them in your arms, and sometimes safer when your arms are needed for other activities. The Zolowear Silk Brocade Ring Sling is more comfortable and versatile than a traditional front carrier, which is difficult to breastfeed in and does not put a newborn in an ideal position for spine development. You can also comfortably wear a Zolowear Silk Brocade Ring Sling for much longer than a traditional front carrier.

All Zolowear Silk Brocade Ring Slings come with a free instructional DVD.
