Choosing leather or non-leather is all about the look you love here’s a closer look at what makes each special.

Leather: while mostly for aesthetics, leather adds a bit more structure to the straps and we love the natural give that the leather chest strap provides. As you walk and wander, the leather molds to your body and breaks in beautifully.

No Leather: non-leather carriers have a simple streamlined look that lets the beauty of our textiles shine.

FAQs

Can I wash the leather? Yes! All of our carriers follow the same care instructions. The only difference is that you condition the leather to keep it soft and supple. Full care instructions here.

Is the whole shoulder strap leather? No, the leather sits only on top of the shoulder straps while the linen or silk underneath touches your body, keeping it soft and breathable. The chest strap is all leather.

What to expect:
Leather is a natural material with subtle variations and markings. These are normal and part of its character, making each piece unique.

We’re Here for You
Whether you have questions about adjusting the fit, styling, or just want a little reassurance, we’re here to help every step of the way.

Crafted with intention
Intention and love is what we infuse into every carrier we create. Each Sakura Bloom is hand-cut and sewn in small batches in our coastal San Diego workshop, where attention to detail and quality craftsmanship are our top priorities.

Fine, all-natural fibers designed to move and breathe
We thoughtfully select natural textiles and materials, creating carriers that are supportive, breathable, and designed to move with you and your baby.

Unique to you
Because each carrier is handmade, subtle variations in fabric texture, nubs, slubs, or leather markings are part of what makes your piece unique. From everyday snuggles to family adventures, our carriers are designed to grow with your baby, bringing ease, comfort, and timeless style to every wear.

Giving Back
In the spirit of giving back to our community and our earth, our Compassion Project recycles, reuses, and repurposes carriers and scraps into art and nonprofit donations. Since 2016, together as a community, we have raised and donated over $125,000 to an assortment of incredible nonprofits working hard to make a difference in our world. Learn more here.
