What is there to know...
Ellevill wraps are comfortable and ergonomic baby carriers, for newborns to toddlers. Ellevill wrap gives you mobility and freedom, for an active life after the birth of your baby.
Ellevill wraps are designed in Norway and produced in India from high-quality cotton, optimum thickness and thread count, patterns and colors developed by our designer Benedicte Andreassen, the woman behind the Ellevill wrap - these features makes Ellevill wraps both comfortable baby carriers and a fashion accessory to look fabulous every day.
The first collection from 2008 included 100% mercerized cotton models in 6 colors. Since then, Ellevill has grown to also have merino wool, organic cotton, silk, linen and bamboo wraps in many different patterns.
Norwegian Style: Norwegian traditional knitting pattern
Zara: Inspired by Norwegian knitting pattern and traditional pattern from South America.
Jade: Zara pattern in smaller size.
Paisley: droplet-shaped vegetable motif of Indian and Persian origin, similar to half of the Yin yang symbol. The pattern is sometimes called "Persian pickles" by American traditionalists, especially quilt-makers as far back as 1888.

Ellevill wrap Key Features
Ellevill wrap is made from a unique, jacquard-weave fabric of optimum comfort.
Its final features combine:
- Medium-thickness with a perfect 'breathability' for full comfort right through summer;
- thread and weave to provide that the wrap is proper grippy and have full support for heavier children. The Ellevill wrap is soft straight from the beginning.
Ellevill wrap has a form of parallelogram, with tails 50cm long. The wrap size is measured by one side and includes one tail.
Middle marks (with size) are placed on the rail. Rails and tails are very carefully sewn.
The production
Why Ellevill
decided to hold its production to India?
By definition, India is a democracy. Despite this, the community consists of large social and cultural differences. All products except wool are produced in India. India cannot produce wool
in large amounts and this is why we chose to produce all wool in China.
The factory that produces goods for Ellevill AS is concerned dignity and justice. They have more than 30 years experience in textile production and therefore have a good knowledge to
give workers the best working conditions. Here are all equal. By adhering to the strict international standards that are set in relation to the production gives workers a fair treatment in terms
of pay, working hours and environmental aspects. They mean that our products are the result of fair trade.
All items manufactured from 2011 is made of mercerized cotton. This is cotton that has been treated with sodium hydroxide to extract certain properties first discovered in 1851. When
treated properly, mercerized cotton is stronger, smoother and shinier than regular cotton. In addition, it takes dye easily, so manufacturers can create rich colour saturation in cotton.
Prices
A penny here and a penny there ...
We are willing to pay more for our goods if we can be of help in a positive direction. Production of textile in this manner is more expensive and makes our products more expensive. This means
lower profits and higher prices. We strive nevertheless to put us at a cost that fits the market. It's important to us that we have a product we can be proud of than we should have the best
possible profit.
Production
Production from raw material to finished product is carefully planned. Only natural AZO free and eco-friendly colours are used for both environmental and health reasons.
Why are knots in my wrap? "The weavers knot" is said to be the smallest possible knot that is possible to make. It is used to attach the thread ends together. It is almost impossible to
get up once it is connected. This is an art in itself and absolutely necessary for the work to be beautiful.
Loose ends and broken strands? The process of weaving machine becomes smoother, but there could still be correspondingly small irregularities like the hand woven wrap has such nodules and
threads. We believe that our products should be unique, and therefore we choose this form of production rather than to mass produce goods without charm.
ELLEVILL CARE! THEIR PRODUCTS WILL REFLECT THAT...
Ellevill products are produced under strict international ISO requirement. That means that the hole production process is protected by the ISO 9001:2000, ISO 14001 2004, the OHSAS 18001 and SA 8000 standards.
The factory
Only high-quality weaving yarns (cotton and other natural materials) of Indian origin is used in the production. All yarns used in Ellevill Slings are produced from the purest and best
refined raw materials.
Ellevill wraps are carefully inspected at special equipment for any weaving flaws and damages, before they are shipped to us in Norway.
