I couldn't live without the love.
I couldn't live without the love that is tucked in my Slingfing. I had one bag, but then I had to get more. It became addictive and now I even have a skirt - all beautiful, all woman, all I need and no-one got hurt in the process. I am always getting stopped in the streets by people who are drawn to the bag, it sure makes going shopping a whole heap more fun. Wearing a Slingfing feels like someone has thrown their arms around you in a big, bold, bear hug - thanks Rachel for sharing the love round this big world, you are truly a woman of vision!

One is not enough
This is not a 'bag', it's a story to wear. It is in its micro way pioneering the return of a pure ethos. Can something that is returning be pioneered? If it means quietly pecking away at the crust that has formed to erode our world - yes. This is not a range of bags that one carries or throws or totes - it urges us to look, really look - stop, think, feel and explore the hidden world of the history of the fabric and history of environmental carnage. One is not nearly enough!

One clever dad
I purchased a Slingfings bag for my daughter's birthday because of the style and design. I thought it was very her and she would love it. I never expected such a quick positive response from her when she received it. Her reaction was one not only of thanks for the gift but a big thanks that I should understand her and get the fact that this gift was not only great but came with such a positive story. It was obviously made with such love and she would be chasing down the web site to get a bag for her sister's birthday next month. Am I not a clever dad!

Pleasure plus knowing
My 3 Slingfings bags cheer up my life. The peg bag reminds me to smile as I hang the washing in the mornings. The beautiful carpet style bag gets comments wherever I go during the day, & the lavendar sack helps send me off into a peaceful sleep each night. The pleasure comes from looking at a beautiful object and the knowing that the ethic behind the construction is ecological, loving & passionate. An inspiration and a guide for all of us who love to create things from the world's resources without taking from it. Keep on keeping on!

It's all that
Every now and again a product comes onto the market that you see and say "wow". In a world where we need to recycle and preserve energy, and still be stylin', Slingfings is all that. I love the fact that they are one-offs and that every bag is made by hand with love.

The next generation
Having been fortunate enough to meet Rachel, proprietor of Slingfings I feel even more strongly about the importance of her products. She represents the next generation of business person, those who will shine in the decades to come. Rachel genuinely believes in the importance of the environmental messages her product delivers and refuses to compromise for commercial gain. I admire her enormously.

The awareness of treading lightly
When teaching yoga I try to inspire the students to practice with love, devotion and a sense of fun. When Rachael gifted me with one of her Slingfing yoga mat bags (a gorgeous bluey/purple paisley) I felt that she shared her love, devotion and sense of fun with me too. Yoga teaches us about treading lightly on this sacred Mother earth, having and using a Slingfing shows our awareness to do just that. Om Shanti Shanti Shanti Rachybaby
