The Girasol Woven Wrap

The Sling Free Elf woven wrap by Girasol is handwoven in Guatemala from 100% recycled cotton in a cross twill weave. Made from recycled cotton as part of Girasol's Recycling Collection — sustainably crafted from surplus fabric. Girasol has been ethically producing baby wraps and carriers in their Guatemalan workshop for over 40 years — each one handwoven on traditional looms by skilled artisans.

Best for: Parents who want the most versatile, fully customisable carry from birth through toddlerhood.

Key Features

• Endless carry options — front, hip, and back carries in dozens of wrapping styles. Learn one, unlock them all as your confidence grows.
• Softer with every use — handwoven cotton breaks in beautifully and becomes even more mouldable over time.
• Grows with your child — one wrap works from tiny newborn through heavy toddler, adjusting to your child's changing size and weight.
• Perfect weight distribution — spread your child's weight evenly across your back, shoulders, and hips for comfortable long carries.
• Supporting artisan communities — every purchase sustains traditional Guatemalan weaving families.

Wrap Sizing

Girasol woven wraps are available in multiple sizes. The right size depends on your body and the carries you prefer. As a general guide:

• Size 5 — 4.2 m / 13.8 ft — Petite wearers, shorter carries
• Size 6 — 4.6 m / 15.1 ft — Most popular, fits most body types for front and back carries
• Size 7 — 5.2 m / 17.1 ft — Taller or plus-size wearers, multi-layer carries
