Some basic fabric differences:

All of our items are ethically produced and made of vegan materials. All items meet US and EU safety standards.

-Our Lenny Lamb items are made of locally sourced materials and dyes

-Our Didymos items are certified organic

-Our Girasol items are handwoven (as opposed to machine woven)

-Items with more complex patterns are more expensive than simpler patterns. This is because they require more threads, more dyes, more vibrant dyes, and more artistry to create them. More complex weaves are often reversible (depending on carrier type and exact print). It can be like 2 carriers in one! More detailed patterns are also more plush and supportive.

-Items with fancy fibers are more expensive due to the added durability and other qualities of those items. Linen is a good example--you can read more about linen here

-Stretchy wraps are knit fibers. Long woven wraps are threads woven on a loom, via machine or by hand
