This gorgeous organic cotton fade depicts the stunning colours of the desert sky, from cobalt blue through pale marigold to deep rust tones. The intricate textures of our Andaluz pattern are picked out in pure bamboo, adding a wonderfully tactile look and feel.
Pure bamboo is a thick viscose yarn which is wonderfully breathable and lends this striking fabric a subtle shimmer. Made from bamboo plants and blended with cotton, this cushy, strong yarn is suitable for all ages and will be great for carrying bigger kids in multilayer carries.
Our organic cotton is softer and stronger than most cottons, produced ethically, this cotton is grown with care and without chemicals keeping the land, and farmers, healthy.

Left or Right Shoulder?
As Ring Slings are worn on one shoulder, you will sometimes see an option for a left or right shoulder sling, this refers to which shoulder the rings sit on, your baby will sit on the opposite hip. For example, if you want to carry your baby on your right hip, you would need to choose a left shoulder Ring Sling.
We have these options because some of our fabrics are directional – it means that the design has a top and a bottom. It is also because a lot of our fabrics have colour gradients. If you choose your preferred shoulder this will ensure that the pattern is placed correctly and/or that the preferred colour is at the top when you are wearing the sling.
Most people will choose the side of the arm they would like to have free as the baby will sit on the opposite hip and restrict your use of that arm somewhat. Imagine holding a baby, which hip do you want to place them on? If it is on your left hip then choose a right shouldered sling and vice versa.
All of our Ring Slings can be worn on either shoulder and we always recommend moving it from side to side regularly to keep your body in balance. Selecting the shoulder side just allows you to have the fabric sitting the way you’d like it on your dominant side.
Highland Pleat or Gathered?
Highland Pleat: This unique shoulder style has been exclusively designed by Oscha. The material is folded and stitched into the pleated shoulder, this means the fabric takes up less space on your shoulder.
Gathered: Widely used in the babywearing community, this style is less structured than the Pleated shoulder meaning it is worn pulled down over your shoulder.
The main difference between the two styles is how the fabric sits on and around your shoulder. The Highland Pleat shoulder has a little more padding and takes up less space on your shoulder, while the Gathered shoulder takes up more space and can be spread right down the top of your arm. While the Pleated shoulder gives much more freedom of movement, the Gathered shoulder allows you to spread the fabric more.
