your taste in wrap/carrier fabric

KateLouise · September 2010

Just curious about everyone's personal taste in wrap, colours etc

I keep lusting after wraps. I'm really drawn to vibrant colours. But I also like how classic some of the neutrals look.

I just find some colour-ways so beautiful, and there doesn't seem to be a theme. I love soft pastel pinks, and multi-coloured tropical colours. I love rich earthy tones, and cool muted pastels.

I think my only rule is that the colours need to suit my complexion and I look like death next to most yellows, and I know some people look really elegant in beige, but I will never be that person.

I love bright colors and stripes! If I had unlimited funds I'd collect as many Girasol Rainbow colorways as possible.

Oh me too. I think I want to own them just so i can take them out and look at them.

I think it kind of depends on how you dress and how many slings/wraps you expect to purchase.

I have always been a dark clothes wearer, guess my semi-goth/rock style never fully went away. I also really like wearing white, but I dont wear much besides white, black and greys. Sometimes a single pop of color works best with that, however, if you don't plan on having a bunch of slings, going too colorful, or patterned may be look a little silly with outfits that don't coordinate.

I made myself a ring sling out of a linen that has a dark grey or black thread with a lighter whitish thread. it overall looks like a dark grey, but I think the linen looks alittle metallic in some lights so it can take on a blue, gunmetal color too.

Then I also made a deep jewel toned but not forest green wrap(kinda like a deeper version of "the bump" tap on this site.)

I ordered a the paige patterned beco last night, which is black and grey with white flowers. I figured my husband will be able to wear any of the carriers too.

I wonder if people with little girl babies might also be a little more frilly in their pattern choices? I dunno, I probably wouldn't because I am black and gray and like gender neutral things. I occasionally see colors, especially jewel colors that I love, but I tend to not be comfortable standing out too much.

ok so apparently I am bored and carrier colors warrant a lot of info...nerd

I have mostly red wraps - Manon Rouge, Red Silk Birds, Red Waves, Stendhal, Earthy Rainbow, Petite Princesse...I love red. I do have Lemony Inka and love blue too but it was sort of hard for me to pull the trigger on that one. Since then I've expanded to other blues and purples but truth be told the only one that sticks around is Inka. Inka and my red wraps

I've got quite a bit of stripes, but I have lots of vibrant colors, and want some more nuetrals... Gosh I like everything, except the fishies I just cannot get myself to love them.
