Primarily, I am a mom, and if you are reading this then you either are a mom, soon to be a mom, or know someone who is a mom. When the opportunity to join HipMelon came along in early 2008, it was an opportunity I could not pass up. With one successful business under my belt, I was ready to move on to something else. HipMelon is a company that is just on the cusp of something wonderful, and I am proud to be able to nurture it into becoming what it so deserves to be.
Growing up, all I ever wanted to be was a mom. A mom and an artist. The beauty of HipMelon is that it allows me to be both. Who could ask for more? Sewing since my youth allows me to present all HipMelon items with the most professional construction, hand sewn using breathable, washable, high quality, cotton stretch, fabric. Creatively, for me, the best part of HipMelon is getting to choose the most fun and funky fabrics on the market and bring them to you.
Here at HipMelon we are a socially responsible company. By maintaining production on a local level, we are able to keep a high level of quality assurance. We are proudly sweatshop free supporting fair trade and fair pay.
As a former baby-wearing mother myself, it is widely known that "wearing your baby" is not only fashionable, but also good for you and your baby. That's right, not only does baby wearing allow freedom of movement for parents but also baby wearing promotes the physical and emotional development of the child. Babies are happier. Crying less, therefore Mom is also happier. It is a win win situation. Why not wear your baby in style? Why not wear your baby in HipMelon?
Please email me with your questions, comments and suggestions at hipmelon@hipmelon.com . I respond to each email I receive.
With regards and happiness in baby wearing

Like you, I'm a mom.
I know this because I don't get nearly as much pampering as I feel I deserve and, some days, matching all the little socks from my dryer feels more like a Mensa puzzle than just a mundane, household chore!
Being a mom is challenging, rewarding, awe-inspiring and, like nothing I've ever done before. It's certainly worth it in and of itself. The bonus? It led me to create HipMelon Baby Wear.

HipMelon represents all that I love and, such a great idea deserves great innovation. That's why I insist upon professional construction and sewing by hand; using breathable, washable, high-quality cotton stretch fabric, that's both comfy and super-funky! I also insist that production take place locally so you know that your purchase is supporting fair trade and fair pay.
I'm often getting emails from new customers who say that HipMelon's attention to detail and the ability of the slings to stand up to much wear and tear is unmatched! I want you to know that you have every reason to feel confident in treating yourself to a HipMelon sling.
Because the research is clear: this long-practiced sport of baby-wearing is good for your baby; the warmth and touch grows little brains, the motion keeps them happy (and, thus, Mom sane!), and you just know that the smile upon your HipMelon baby's lips as he/she drifts oh-so-stylishly off to sleep is accompanied by the thought, "Sigh... I am so fabulous!" Of course, you knew that already.
Warmly, Caterina Patterson
