In 2009, Slings I Love (now Granola Babies) helped organize and hosted a design contest on behalf of the wrappers of TheBabyWearer.com. This particular design won from over 70 designs that were submitted and voted on.
Girasol Wrapper's Paradise is the winning design from a design competition hosted by us in 2009. And since that time it has become a much loved and classic colorway for babywearers around the world. It has soft tones of purple, green and creams and it's absolutely beautiful.
Since 2009 and after it's first and only weaving we've receive many requests to run this colorway again. We love this colorway and agree that it should be available again. So, we've open a pre-order that will be the only pre-order for the next two years. Please be sure to purchase yours now if you'd like a Girasol Wrapper's Paradise.
We originally planned to go on a journey in Central America for 6 month, but it grew into a 2 years stay.
There remains among us a lasting affection for the region and a special loveof the Indians of Guatemala.
We started selecting cloth, textiles and handicrafts on the markets of the Guatemalan highlands to sell them in Mexico and later in Germany.
Our shop in Berlin opened 1984.
Through our continous stays in Mexico and Guatemala, we developed friendly relations to the families of the weaver and artisans.
The collaboration with the artisans is based on fair trade with the guarantee of continous orders.
