(Pictured above: A mannequin wearing a doll in a New Native dupioni silk baby carrier. This is an accurate depiction of the only situation in which a 100% silk carrier should be utilized -- when neither the baby nor the wearer are actually, you know, living people.)
Look, you know I'm not going to be a fan of silk anything for baby; I find it impractical in almost every way. But I know some people dig it and so I try not to automatically impose my (predictable) opinion. Unfortunately, New Native tipped the scales just a little too far on this one. If your tag line is "Business dedicated to healthy families, social responsibility, and a clean environment," you don't get to tout a $118 (so responsible) dry clean only (that's awesome for the environment) baby carrier and not get mocked. Sorry.
