Introducing the Oliviabolivia Mei Tai!

One of a kind originals coming soon to my Hyena Cart!

At this time, I do not plan to offer customs or take orders. I may on a rare occasion offer a custom slot, but this will not happen on a regular basis. With four kids, including one-year-old twins, I just can't handle the added pressure of taking orders or sewing customs. I love sewing mei tais and I really want to be able to keep it that way. :) I hope to stock at least once a week, or three or four times per month. All mei tais will be one-of-a-kind, with applique of some kind. I use a variety of fabrics to construct each carrier, and it's not uncommon to see several decorative stitches in various colors of thread on each one. While each carrier is different in its appearance, all Oliviabolivia Mei Tais are similar in that they are constructed using high-quality materials so that you can wear your baby comfortably, and most importantly, safely.

Straps are sturdy 100% cotton canvas or twill. Canvas and twill are some of the strongest, most durable materials available and they offer superior support and safety due to their close weave. Straps on Oliviabolivia Mei Tais will come in a variety of colors, some even hand-dyed. All straps are attached to an inner layer of canvas and are reinforced with hidden X-box construction. Shoulder straps are lightly padded, approximately 4.25" wide and 80" long. Waist strap is also padded and around 80" long. Mei Tais are backed with a variety of fabrics. Some will have minky, cord, silk, canvas, or print cotton fabric. Some Oliviabolivia Mei Tais are reversible, however hood loops are only sewn on the main panel side. All will feature generously-sized sleeping hoods. Body dimensions are approximately 17" wide and 20.5" tall (including waist strap).

Each Oliviabolivia Mei Tai will include the signature applique of hearts, flowers, or another decorative feature on the end of one shoulder strap. This fun addition shows in the back in a front carry and the front in a back carry. It is featured best when the straps are tied Tibetan.

I do not charge extra for hoods, reversible, silk, minky, or applique. Starting price is $145. Some Oliviabolivia Mei Tais may be more than this due to fabrics and techniques used.
