Filed under: Pastel Raw Silk Ring Sling
Good news and bad news altogether for our ever popular Raw Silk Ring Sling.
Good news first
I have got some new colors for our Raw Silk Series. Hence I try to match them up and I get shades which is a little bit different from the previous batch (that is named after the Seasons – Fresh Spring, Red Autumn, Cool Winter).
And since the name we used no longer suit our new colors, I have decided to change the names. Instead of two-words name, I think it is easier to use a single-word name.
Color: Golden combination
Originally the combination was the left yellow matching with a yellowish green, hence was name as Fresh Spring. Now that the green has been changed to royal gold, so the names suggested by our friends in Facebook are Golden, Sunset, Blossom, Honey, Butterscotch, Royal. I personally like ROYAL, what do you think?
Color: Bronze-Orange red
Initially was name as Red Autumn. We change the darker tone to a richer tone as above. This color reminds me of the falling leaves in the autumn so I still think that the name Autumn describe the best for this combination. Shall we maintain this name? Or any names you can suggest?
Color: Greyish Blue
Previously named as Cool Winter, I love this new combination. Using a more striking blue than previous, it is more attention captivating. It also suits daddy who wants to wear their baby as well (that’s hubby wearing my Twin 2 with the previous Cool Winter). Do you think Winter still describe this new color well? Or should it be Iceberg, Sapphire, Cornflower?
Color: Passion Pinkish Red
I think “Passion” describe this color best. This combination is new out of the previous 3. I wanted something in pink shade, so I came up with this. What do you think of this color? Do you like wearing something so striking? Or should I tone down it a bit by replacing with a lighter or dull pink instead? Please feedback.
Now comes the bad news for Mama Patch Raw Silk
We have been using this Raw Silk Material since Mama Patch was born. Not only it is not slippery, many mummies claimed that this sling fabric is very sturdy too, when they use it on bigger baby / toddler although it is one layer.
As announced to all our friends in Facebook, this superb quality Mama Patch Raw Silk actually comes from Italy but my fabric supplier said that they will most likely not import this silk from Italy anymore due to the cost (similar price silk are coming in from Pakistan, India, but quality is just so different). Hence, I have actually bought up everything that’s available here but our fabric quantity is really low :’(
I actually have been searching around for similar silk fabric of same price range in other stores ever since we started making ring sling. However nothing can give me an equivalent quality as what we are currently using. Even if it does, it will cost a lot MORE which ends up with much higher price silk sling for our customers too. Hope I shall be able to find a good silk fabric replacement as time comes.

Finally a new pastel for the Raw Silk ring Sling has been launched. Combine with light orange and cream white fabric, this ring sling really looks light and sweet and feminine with its V-shape tail.

Often, I come across mummies buying a ring sling for their men. I think every woman would love to have their child carried by their husband, but can a ring sling look good on men just like any other carrier?
This is how a Mama Patch worn by a dad, of course with the tail looping around the rings, creating a masculine look. (Also flower/embroidery design on tail is well hidden in the fabric).

Silk for Mama Patch Ring Sling again, how can I ever resist the beauty of these silk fabric?
Three pairs matching pastel to choose from
Beautiful embroidery borders
While shopping for new Shantung Silk color, I came across these beautiful fabric, the blended cotton silk, which is also label as Raw Silk. Unlike light weave raw silk scarf that I have, these blended raw silk has got a very strong weave, not to mention the beautiful strong color that you can see on my color chart below.
Comparison to the blended Shantung Fabric
Although it is a little bit thicker than the Shantung fabric I got earlier, it definitely feel very cooling to the skin. With a more distinguish weave appearance, this fabric is much more smoother and quite glossy. Very cottony feeling if you love the feel of cotton, and yet wants to enjoy the luxury of silk.
Matching with a pair of medium size aluminium rings (for easy adjustment) from slingrings.com, you can be assured that this beautiful fabric is very easy to adjust and holds your baby well in place.
But is silk slippery on the rings?
Tips: A very easy way to distinguish a good silk used is that it would not slip through although the aluminium rings.
