About the Shop

Cashmere Cuddles are stylish, mom-made X-sling baby carriers available in a variety of fabrics from cashmere to cotton, and showcasing eco-friendly fabric like organic cotton and bamboo.



Why choose an X-sling (x-shape or "obi" style) carrier?
• Easy on and off
• No buckles, rings, or complicated ties
• Wide straps evenly distribute baby’s weight
• Ergonomic “legs up” position for baby, especially with the optional leg gussets
• Folds down small, not much bigger than a cloth diaper.

Cashmere Cuddles carriers have the look of a wrap, but the convenience of a soft-structure carrier without the hassle of buckles, rings, or complicated ties. The carrier slips over your head easily and snugs your body. Just slide your baby in from the top and you are ready to go. The criss-cross construction evenly distributes your baby's weight across your shoulders and back and cradles your baby close to your heart. This unique x-shape allows your baby to be carried inward-facing, in a good ergonomic position with his or her weight distributed across the sit bones, rather than the spine. A separate obi sash is tied around and under your baby to give additional support and stability. The carrier can be altered for larger babies with the addition of leg gussets and an adjustable accent piece. See the policies section for details.

X-slings are designed for younger babies. They can be altered to support a larger baby by adding gussets at the leg openings, to keep their legs from dangling, and with an adjustable accent piece that can be lowered while one places the baby in the carrier and then tied into position.

Most users should be able to carry up to 20-25 pounds comfortably.
