Someone in my post below mentioned the Sakura Bloom slings, so I looked them up. They are beautiful, but to get a pretty pattern they are $260+. Maya wraps are only $74, but I'm not in love with any of them, and also think I might like a fabric other than cotton.
Is there a brand that is a good in between, with a pretty pattern and nice fabric, but under $150?

There are several site that you can buy second hand.. not sure if I am allowed to say them...? thebabywearer.com and diaperswappers.com. You could buy a $150 RS for like $60 or $70 shipped.
You can also get beautiful slings that aren't "name brand" that cost much less.
I've never purchased from her myself, but I've heard wonderful things about ObiMama: https://www.etsy.com/shop/ObiMama
Yes, and I regret it. The seller was nice and helpful, the RS is awful. I didn't know enough about them to make an informed decision.
I *love* my Sleeping Baby Productions RS and I think the price was totally reasonable. I even sprung for the organic, because I was happy with the cost. It is beautiful and wonderfully made. Definitely would recommend it.
I had this one:

I still love it but it is just starting to fray after 2 years non-stop use!
my friend bought it for me I think she spent around 50-60 after shipping and handling and an instructional video.
Little Rose is 2 1/2.
I ordered a babybasics superwide ring sing from Babyette on Etsy and love, love love it. I just ordered a plaid sling from her, too. Can't say enough good things, and her slings are very reasonably priced:
