The new Ergobaby Sport Model

baby2 baby11

New this year to compliment the original Ergobaby Carrier is the Ergobaby Sport.

It is made of a blend of 35% cotton and 65% polyester. The lighter, more-breathable fabric provides a slight wicking feature to help keep baby-wearers more comfortable. The carrier’s body features a vent to provide extra breathability, keeping both baby and parent cooler. The waist belt can extend an additional 5″ further than our Standard or Organic carriers, and the shoulder straps can extend an extra 4″, providing comfortable fit for babywearers of all sizes. The Sleeping Hood is completely detachable and can be stored in the pocket. Only in Black with white top stitching.

The original Ergobaby Carrier is  still available at Whole Earth in many colors and fabrics, including organics. We also carry many accessories for both models including a handsfree add-on backpack, pouch, infant insert, and sucking pad.

Available at all locations except our store at 2410 San Antonio St. in Austin.

Moleskine Notebooks

moleskine1

MOLESKINE is the legendary notebook that has held the inspirations and ideas of everyone from Van Gogh, Picasso and Hemingway to famed author, Bruce Chatwin. Artists, authors, and geniuses of all variety have long appreciated the simplicity and superior functionality of these notebooks.

Originally these books were produced by small French bookbinders who supplied the Parisian stationery shops frequented by the international avant-garde. However, In 1986, the last manufacturer of Moleskine, a family operation in Tours, closed and Moleskines were gone – but not forgotten. As a result of their previous popularity and demand, they did return. In 1998, a small Milanese publisher brought these books back for writers, artists, travelers and all free-thinkers around the globe.
