What parents are saying.
"This gorgeous hemp sling has gotten us through baby's first year, right from the start. It folds up small! The snuggles and support are unmatched."
"I have even been able to comfortably nurse my baby in it. The Charm print is the most beautiful print I have ever seen — I love it so much I'll use the sling as a blanket when she outgrows it."
"I use this everywhere — my house, church, grocery store, walks, plane rides, and the pool. I don't leave the house without it. Best investment this plus-sized mommy has made by far!"
"I have about 7 ring slings from different brands. My toddler was getting too heavy for all of them. All of a sudden my 23lb child was weightless on me with this sling."

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a ring sling?
A ring sling is one of the simplest ways to babywear. It’s a long piece of woven fabric with two rings sewn in at one end—thread the fabric through the rings, pop your baby in, tighten, and you’re good to go.
Our ring slings are designed to adjust quickly, fit comfortably, and look beautiful. Whether you’re wearing a sleepy newborn or a toddler who still wants snuggles, a ring sling keeps them close while keeping your hands free.

What makes hope&plum ring slings different from other brands?
Here’s the deal: a lot of baby carriers are mass-produced and look the same. Ours aren’t. Every hope&plum sling is sewn locally in Minnesota by a women-owned and operated manufacturer that pays livable wages.
We use natural, breathable fibers like hemp and linen blends (no sweaty polyester here 🙅♀️), and we work with independent artists to design every print. That means our carriers are as unique as you are, you won’t find them under any other label.
Are your ring slings plus-size friendly?
1000% yes. Babywearing is for everyBODY, and our ring slings come in multiple lengths to fit parents of all shapes and sizes. We’re one of the only baby carrier brands that truly centers size inclusivity, it’s part of why we started hope&plum in the first place. No matter your body type, we’ve got a sling that works for you.

Are ring slings safe for babywearing?

We follow the T.I.C.K.S. guidelines (that’s Tight, In view, Close enough to kiss, Keep chin off chest, and Supported back) to make sure babywearing is both safe and comfy for you and your little one.
And because we design our carriers to be breathable, adjustable, and supportive, you don’t have to compromise between safety, comfort, or style. Basically: snuggles, but make them safe and cute.
