This week, Neve Vujasinovic tells us about her 100Knots baby slings biz!

Website: http://100knots.com.au

Tell us a little about your business/products.
100Knots baby sling carriers are made with lots of love and care by a proffesional
 moddeler/designer and a mom of 3.

When did you start your business?
I’ve started my business almost 4 years ago.

Tell us how you discovered babywearing and what impact it’s had on
 you.

I’ve discovered babywearing by recomendation from a friend. I ordered couple of slings, and loved babywearing. It made my life so much easier.

What led you to start your business?
I could not find the sling which is comfortable enough. I have a back injury, and no sling was good enough…I made my own sling, and had lots of people asking me to make them the same sling…That led to improving that model of sling, and starting to sell it.

What motivates you in your business and what makes it enjoyable for you?
The best satisfaction is when someone who just discovered babywearing writes me a letter telling how much they enjoy babywearing…Sometimes the letters I recieve are so touching, they put tears in my eyes…

What do you find challenging about producing and/or selling baby carriers?
Hm…This is a tough one…Everything…From choosing a right thread and right fabric, to final sewing and packaging…Competing with other sellers, and answering the tricky questions about babywearing…I enjoy every bit of what I do!

What is the best thing about babywearing for you?
Babies cry less :) and sleep longer :)

Do you have any other special interests or causes?
No.

What do you get up to in a typical day?
Waking up, caring for two toddlers and a baby, sewing a lot, going late to bed…It is a long day, and this would be a loong answer.

Do you have anything more to discuss? Not at this stage, but looking
 forward in writing more about slings someday.

This week Neve tells us about her 100Knots Ring Slings

Describe your product and how it works.
The Baby ring sling has a  special shoulder fold, which is anatomicall for wearers shoulder.  It has a pocket as well, and a toy loop.

Are there any special design features?
100Knots Ring Slings are anatomically designed for mum and baby.  The shoulder part is specially made to cup the mother’s shoulder while the rings perfectly fit in the hollow under the mum’s shoulder.  That specially developed and registered unique shoulder design that enables sling to perfectly mould into wearers body is a trademark that distinguishes 100Knots Ring Sling from other quality carriers.

It also features pocket on the front side, so you can easily carry it to the store as both: baby carrier and a purse! Our sling has an inbuilt loop as well which can be used for carrying the dummy or a toy within an easy reach for the baby.

What age/weight baby is this product suitable for?

 this product to?

They are suitable for any lifestyle. For busy mums, for hiking, shopping, home use…

Are there any sizing issues buyers need to be aware of?
Ring sling is one size fits all.
