Woven wraps advice - brands, where to buy/swap second-hand?

[RatherOutdated]

In short, please could someone point me at good brands for woven wraps these days and let me know where you go to buy or swap them second-hand? Facebook? Reddit? Ebay or other? I am feeling rather old and out of date...

A family friend is pregnant and has asked me for some advice on woven wraps. Before and after uni, this friend was au pair and later babysitter for my now-college aged daughter. She has fond memories of carrying my daughter around in our various wraps and wants to do the same with her own baby. We might buy one wrap new, but they're expensive and she would like several in different weights/colours of fabric. So, it would be good to know where she can source second-hand wraps too.

Unfortunately, my knowledge is frozen in around 2010 and I might not even be using the right words or search terms anymore. Several of my old favourite brands have vanished, the Yahoo babywearing sale & trade group is no more, and I'm trying to figure out the modern equivalents.

We both used to love my Didymos (still seems v. popular and there are some second-hand options on ebay.de although not in the sizes needed), Ellaroo (looks to be only US now) and Calin Bleu (doesn't seem to do woven wraps any more). Searching around online, Oscha looks good, as does the Finnish Vanamo.

I'm not looking for other carrier recommendations. (My friend is already looking at Ergo or Integra which she liked before and which still seem widely available and well-rated.) I'm also not looking for wraps in stretchy material. She might get a Close Caboo for the first few months but we both found jersey too stretchy for larger babies and too hot for much of the year.

UK or European options are both fine as our families visit each other regularly but neither of us want to order from the US or further afield than the EU generally.

Thank you!

Lenny Lamb is great. Vinted is a good place to look. There are lots of communities for slings on Facebook (including dedicated buying and selling pages). I recently sold my Lenny lamb woven ring sling on a Facebook.

UK Baby Wrapping Natter and UK Babywearing are good woven resources on Facebook. And there’s a buying/selling group called UK Woven Wraps BST on there. Vinted often have good deals on secondhand wraps, if you can get in quick and check as best as you can that it’s not a dodgy seller.

Also might be nice to get her a session with a sling library close to you and she can try out some different wraps as there’s so many different types and feels and weights, then she’d have a better idea of what she’s after

This would be a good recommendation in many cases but my friend's visits here are short and unlikely to coincide with local sling library drop-ins or meet-ups that happen only a couple of times per month. She's also already an experienced (if out of practice) wrap user and clear that she ideally wants one heavier fabric wrap like my old Didymos indio, a midweight weave like my old Ellaroo and a lightweight summer option like my Calin Bleu gauze. We hoped this might be enough to track down options online.

Wow - Vinted is already looking good and I've found several possibilities in the size needed. That Facebook group is promising too.

Thanks again!

FB groups like 'Slings and Things - FSOT and advice' are awesome but Vinted too tbh. Lenny Lamb and Didymos would be my top choice - the older the better so they're more broken in and softer

Oscha also have their own dedicated Facebook group called "Oscha Slings International Community" where people do BST, but the other places people have mentioned here are also very good. I also have a discount code for first orders on the Oscha website - WRAPLINGS10
