Custom Carriers
Here at Melliapis we offer a bespoke service to convert your woven wrap into a full or half buckle carrier, meh dai, podagei, buckle onbuhimo or ring sling.
How Does It Work
1. Select Your Chosen Carrier
If you have a wrap that you love but want the convenience of carrier then a wrap conversion is for you, each conversion is unique and customised to your specifications!
2. Personalise Your Carrier
Once you have decided on the carrier and any extras you desire to make your carrier unique to you, simply submit your enquiry and I will contact you to arrange the next steps.
3. Place Your Order
Once you’re happy just let me know and I will send an invoice for the total. Don’t worry you don’t pay the full amount up front! I only ask for a £20 deposit to get started.

Your wrap will be beautifully converted into a classic design carrier or we could make something completely different for you, have a look at previous conversions in our Gallery and on our facebook page to get an idea of what is possible.
If you have a wrap that you love but want the convenience of a carrier or sling then a wrap conversion is for you, each conversion is unique and customised to your specifications!
We also offer a service to chop and rehem a wrap into a shorter sling.
Dependent on the size of your wrap (wrap size guide) we could also use any remaining pieces as a panel on a carrier, a ring sling, or if you have your own project in mind we can send the rest back to you.
