Uppymama Frozen 4.6m Natural Silk Weft with a Graded Pinstripe middle marker.
We just had an unexpected preview of the coming winter here in Alberta, Canada. The snow reminded us that while we’ll miss the summer heat there’s a certain beauty in ice and snow. Uppymama Frozen celebrates just that. Featuring blue skies streaked with grey clouds fading to sparkling snow and ice this is a cool winter wrap that will still keep you nice and snuggly warm as you carry your little one close. Only four wraps and a ring sling exist in this stunning pattern and the silk version is extra special with a pinstriped middle marker that is in itself a grad from light to dark.

The wraps currently up for auction will be listed in the auction post on the website – be sure to note the size, fibre blends, middle markers and reserve bid amounts for each wrap prior to bidding. Type your bid into the box that says “Enter your bid” (your bid must be higher than the reserve bid) and then click “Submit Bid.” Should you choose, you may re-enter another bid every five minutes until the auction closes. Please note that Uppymama auctions are sealed bid to protect the privacy of auction winners.
Note: We highly recommend entering unique dollar values to increase your odds of having a the top bid. Instead of entering $500 it is better to enter $503 or $507 rather than a round number like $600 or $650.
If your bid is the highest at the time the auction closes, you will be notified by email (sent to the email listed in your account). You will be able to purchase the wrap for your bid amount, plus shipping charges and taxes as applicable.
All Uppymama auctions are conducted by sealed bid. You may enter an initial bid (higher than the reserve bid), and re-enter bids every five minutes.

We ask that you please consider booking a babywearing consultation or exchanging for another style of carrier before you give up and return your Uppymama babywearing carrier. All carriers returned to Uppymama MUST BE IN NEW CONDITION with all original packaging. Returns must be received by Uppymama within 30 days of original shipping date.
The original cost of shipping will not be refunded. Your refund will be processed as quickly as possible.
Due to the handmade, artisan nature of Uppymama wraps, occasionally a carrier may arrive to you with an area of inconsistency. It is completely normal for handwoven wraps to have weaver’s knots, bobbin changes, colour changes, nubs and slubs, etc.
If a wrap you won from an Uppymama auction has an area of inconsistency that concerns you, please contact us within 30 days of the shipping date. Uppymama will assess your wrap through photos to assess if you have an area of inconsistency that requires repair, or if your inconsistencies are considered normal for handwoven wraps. If we determine that your wrap requires repair, Uppymama will pay for shipping and repairs, and send it back to you as quickly as possible.
Uppymama may also repair a wrap that has been damaged or arrives with areas of inconsistencies (more than 30 days after purchase, or if you are not the original owner), however the customer is responsible for all shipping charges.
All orders of carriers in stock may take up to 10 business days to process and ship. Shipping is done via Canada Post, and your purchase will be insured to its full retail value. Any customs fees or taxes are the sole responsibility of the purchaser.
Local pick up may be possible and can be arranged when an order is completed.
