Sassabies Belly Sashays

Sassabies was founded by Saskia Charbonneau, a Dutch woman who discovered there was a market for belly sashays for pregnant woman.

When Saskia was going through her own pregnancy, she purchased some maternity sashes from Holland and brought them back to her home in San Francisco.

Women would ask her where they could buy them and this gave her the idea to bring this exciting concept to the US, and Sassabies was created.

Sweet Fletcher Designs

What’s a mother to do when her baby accessories could have her arrested by the fashion police?!  Ashley Waldvogel Gaddy faced this dilemma back in 2004 when searching for a baby sling for her colicky son Fletcher.  Ashley knew the only way to calm her son was to keep him close to her, but she wanted the freedom of using her hands at the same time.  She began the search for the perfect sling.  She soon realized the products on the market did not meet her aesthetic standards; they added unnecessary bulk after a pregnancy and were too ‘cutesy’ or ‘babyish.’ 
This art professor and wannabe fashionista mummy finally solved her problem by creating Sweet Fletcher Designs – Baby Slings for trendsetting mums who want to keep their babies cute and their baby accessories stylish! 
Sweet Fletcher Designs Reversible Baby Sling $60.00 allows for baby to be close to mummy while adding some style into the mix.
