The simplicity of a ring sling makes wearing your baby tummy-to-tummy easy and secure. Ring slings have always been my favorite baby carriers because they are so easy to adjust for position and comfort and so quick to put on and take off. They pack up small in your bag, and they don’t add bulk or hot layers over your clothes. They are the perfect balance of adjustability with ease.
Combine that simple utility of the ring sling with stunning beauty, and you get Sakura Bloom.
I just returned from a monstrously huge baby products trade show in Las Vegas. Every year I’m struck by how useless so much of the stuff is. I see products that are the life’s ambitions of the inventors—life’s ambitions and life savings. And, so few will survive because they are single-purpose, short-term products that don’t really improve lives. So many of these products just provide more ways not to touch babies when babies ask to be touched.
Yet, in the midst of that ocean of shocking color and plastic, there are areas of soothing, natural calm. I, of course, move straight toward the calm.
And, there is Sakura Bloom.
- The product is simply beautiful.
- The brand is touching.
- The new products are irresistible.
Babywearing is all about touch, and sling style baby carriers can be used from newborn through toddler. These are the opposite of the short-term, no-touch products that abound at the baby products trade show.
We know our customers love the popular Sakura Bloom baby slings, so we have picked up their new products, and we have a few of these beauties on their way to the store right now.
If you are wondering about the difference between the Sakura Bloom sling styles, look for either silk or linen. The Irish linen is in the process of being replaced by Belgian linen, so you will see those listed separately. You can also get either single- or double-layer. The double layer gives more support for a bigger, older baby, and the single layer is perfect for summer with a newborn. Then, there are the special collections like Shabd Shibori.
Shabd Shibori Collection

Pattern/Color: Rich blues in four distinct pattern families: triangle, line, square, and feather. Every sling is one-of-a-kind.

These slings are Sakura Bloom’s latest collaboration with Shabd Simon-Alexander. For this collection the artist has utilized Shibori — the centuries-old Japanese dyeing technique that highlights geometric repeat patterns. Shabd Shibori for Sakura Bloom is rendered in sophisticated, rich hues of blue.
Each sling is one-of-a-kind, dyed by hand in Brooklyn. This time, Shabd’s canvas is the Classic Linen—beautiful Belgian flax spun and woven to perfection. Shabd Simon-Alexander is an internationally renowned textile artist, designer, author and teacher with a background in fine arts. Her clothing line, shabd, is carried in high-end boutiques and art museums around the world. She lives and works in Brooklyn, NYC.
