5,467 ReviewsGirasol Marigold Ring Sling - Plant Dyed
100% untreated cotton.
Plant dyed with dried marigolds.
Handwoven on traditional looms.
Hand stitched.
Babywearing doesn't get any better than this.
Part of the new plant dyed collection from Girasol.
This sling is particularly special on many levels.
It has been dyed using dried marigolds by a small cooperative of Tz'utujil Maya using traditional Mayan techniques, ensuring that the tradition is maintained and passed on.
So now you can have a sling that's been hand dyed by the power of nature, the fabric has been hand woven on traditional looms, and the sling itself has been handmade.
Babywearing doesn't get any more special than this.
The herringbone weave of this design really highlights the colour, don't you think?
A few notes - plant dyes can never be 100% lightfast. Depending on the type of plant used, the colour will be a little lighter, sometimes a little stronger.
This just means that your sling is totally unique.
Please also note that the colour of the rings may vary from the picture.
Girasol woven wraps are handwoven on traditional looms. Girasol partners with artisans, small workshops, cooperatives and independent weavers, and at the heart of their craft are the principles of fair trade and sustainability.
The handwoven nature of these ring slings means they are super-soft in hand with just enough grip to make them a dream to use. Cool, quick-drying and super-gorgeous.

Brand Story
Girasol, Berlin
GIRASOL is widely known for handwoven baby wraps. They are manufactured exclusively for them by a specifically developed and dedicated group of dyers, weavers and tailors in Guatemala.
The story began when, at the end of 1980, Camilla and Gerhard took off for a journey to explore the South-American continent from Mexico to Peru.
They never made it to Peru however, since the breathtaking beauty of the Guatemalan highlands, the fascination of the Caribbean coast and the curiosity for post-revolutionary Nicaragua completely blew both their budget and time frame.
Their local partners are artisans, small workshops, cooperatives and independent weavers and tailors. The principles of fair trade and sustainability are paramount for all stages of purchase, production and sale.
The end result? Absolutely stunning hand-woven wraps, ring slings, and the fantastic Mysol that we have come to know and love.
