LoveHeld: From First Wear to Long Term Trust
My experience with LoveHeld started years ago when my son was a baby and they sent a couple ring slings with their different fabrics to test out.
The waffle ring sling was the option I was most excited about, and the moment I put it on, the fabric just felt dreamy. Soft and textured without feeling floppy or unsupportive. It felt good immediately. There was no breaking in or stiffness. It was just genuinely enjoyable to wear from the start. That first use stuck with me because it felt intuitive and cozy in a way that is hard to explain until you experience it yourself.
Why I loved LoveHeld even more after that first experience
After that first wear, I started paying closer attention to the brand behind the product, and that is where LoveHeld really won me over.
LoveHeld is a woman owned and operated brand that began in 2016. Their textiles are woven and designed using all natural fibers like linen, cotton, and hemp. Each textile goes through a LoveHeld developed washing and softening process, so everything arrives already broken in. There is no prewashing or softening required before use. This makes a huge difference in first time experience!
Each item is custom handmade to order, which allows for personalization such as ring color changes or exact length requests. And every piece is touched by only one person from start to finish. From washing and softening the textile from the weaver, to cutting, ironing, sewing, softening again, packaging, and shipping.
That level of care shows. You can feel it in how the carriers wear and how they hold up over time.
A closer look at LoveHeld fabrics
LoveHeld offers several fabric options, each chosen with intention and function in mind.
- Waffle weave: Textured, cozy, and substantial. These feel like wearing a soft blanket while still being supportive and breathable.
- Linen: Strong, breathable, and temperature regulating. Linen softens beautifully with use and works well across seasons.
- Cotton and hemp blends: Durable, natural, and thoughtfully woven to balance comfort and long term support.
If you spend any time browsing their site, it is clear that these fabric choices are not just about appearance (although they are gorgeous too). They are about comfort, function, and longevity.
The waffle woven wraps
When LoveHeld introduced their waffle woven wraps, I was immediately drawn to them. They are definitely on the thicker side, which I personally love in this specific case. They feel secure and grounding, while still being breathable and easy to work with.
They are fun to wrap with, incredibly beautiful, and genuinely feel like wrapping with a blanket. They have become one of my favorite wraps to reach for when I want something cozy and supportive.
Choosing to support LoveHeld beyond babywearing
After spending time with their carriers and getting to know the brand more deeply, I chose to support LoveHeld beyond babywearing by purchasing additional pieces for our home.
I bought one of their waffle blankets, which I absolutely love, and a linen sheet set that has become a favorite in our house. I made those purchases intentionally to support the brand, because when I find a small business that creates a truly high quality product and operates with strong ethics, I want to stand behind them.
I also knew I was getting products that would last and be lived in, not just admired.
Every single item I own from LoveHeld reflects care and attention to detail. Their fabrics are thoughtfully chosen, beautifully made, and feel good to use every day. I feel confident about what touches my skin and my children, and that trust matters.
Why LoveHeld stays in my rotation
What started as one positive first experience has turned into long term trust.
LoveHeld creates baby carriers and home goods that feel intentional, supportive, and made with care. Their products are beautiful and functional, but more than that, they feel human. That is why LoveHeld continues to have a place in our lives, both in babywearing and in our home.
