Jessica Alba recently purchased a Serena & Lily Market Sling for her new baby, and it is easy to see the appeal. The sling has a very earthy vibe about it, and yet it is quite stylish at the same time. This hand-embroidered sling is made of 100% organic cotton to be as gently and soft to your baby as it is kind to the Earth. Your commitment to your child and to the environment will be obvious to others whenever you use this sling.

The sling is made of one piece that eliminates the need for buckles or straps. You simply slip it on and you are ready to go. It is available in three sizes and various colors. You can purchase one for $129 at Babybox.com.
