See you soon — looking forward to exciting things in 2019!
Welcome to the new format of ecomum! We’re turning a new page in 2019 and refocusing our product line. Stay tuned as this site comes together with exciting and affordable home accessories, fashion and midwifery supplies that are light on the planet, and your pocket book.
As we get things rolling, feel free to shop at our etsy site in the meantime: http://www.etsy.com/shop/ecomum
Or, you can also shop through the backdoor of our recent website: ecomum’s Prestashop for a fully functional shopping cart site that covers all our product line, not just ecomum – made products. Please note that inventory on some items may be a bit off as we realign our product focus, and migrate to our new e-commerce site.
Thank you for dropping by!
In 2018, our midwifery sling sales raised over $530 for our local women’s shelter and Doctors Without Borders. THANK YOU to all our customers who helped make this possible!
ecomum started as because organic cotton products, and cloth diapers were not readily available when our family was growing. Later our product line expanded as we all expanded, and we began making cloth midwifery slings at the request of our local midwifery clinic. Since then, we’ve begun selling them all around the world — a true honor to be creating something that is one of the first thing to touch so many newborn babies! AND! we get to satisfy the urge to buy pretty fabric!
ecomum is a homebased business located in Peterborough, Ontario, Canada. Our products are chosen for the following reasons as much as possible
–ecologically responsible practices from field, to production, to your home
–reuse-ability — good quality stuff to last a long while!
–ethical business practices
–hard to find stuff that’s good for your family (and your soul)
— all packaging and labels are post-consumer recycled or sewing off-cuts for a softer footprint!
We’ve got 2 kids, and an assorted menagerie of rescued animals that keep life hopping, but then, what else is life here for?!
If you have any questions, please let us know; we also welcome inquiries about custom made hemp prefold diapers, or other eco-friendly creations.
Thanks for stopping in, and having a look at our shop, which is, as all things, a work in progress.
All purchases ship in recycled / eco-friendly packaging as much as possible.
***********
It’s important for us to pay back a little of the blessings that we have in our lives. 1$ from every sling sold is being donated to a women’s shelter here in Peterborough, Ontario, Canada or to midwifery projects with Medicins Sans Frontiers! Great for midwife thank you gifts!
Over the past few years, that has been more than $1000!!!
Here’s some info on MSF if you want to make your own donation:
