Oscha Slings is a small business I’ve grown to love over the years. Their Middle-earth collection speaks to my Tolkien-loving heart, but the quality of their products is what keeps me coming back to their site. While their primary focus is baby carriers, they’ve recently branched out and begun offering a variety of lifestyle items such as drinkware, tote bags, blankets, scarves, and even tea towels now!

Ancients of Gondor™ Ithildin Ring Sling
I’ve dreamt of owning an Oscha Ring Sling since my first daughter was a baby, but it wasn’t until our fifth child was born that I was finally able to get one — and it didn’t disappoint.
The fabric is quite thick when compared to other ring slings I’ve owned. This meant that it required a bit of breaking in initially, but also that it ultimately provided a wonderful amount of support while wearing the sling.
I would not recommend wearing this style of carrier in hot weather, but it is a wonderful option for cooler weather to keep both baby and caregiver warm.
As this sling is handcrafted using 100% organic cotton, I feel its price point is very fair.
Tree of Gondor™ Travel Mug
This mug is so lovely. It features a rather unique press-in button which opens and closes the lid, and has held up quite well to the times I’ve thrown it into my bag to carry along. The lid style is different from other travel mugs I’ve used in the past but I don’t notice it now that I’ve gotten used to it.
The design on the outside is stunning, as always, and the material the travel mug is made with seems very durable. I was also impressed that the mug itself came wrapped in a cloth bag + cardboard box (no plastic involved).
Misty Mountains™ Indigo Eco Tote Bag
I’ve been very impressed by the quality of Oscha’s line of “Eco Totes”. They are made with recycled cotton and screen-printed with original artwork by Oscha.
Both this and the Large tote below are extremely sturdy. The design is also printed on both sides of the tote, which gives it an added layer of quality that you won’t find in most canvas totes.
Realm of Middle-earth™ Large Eco Tote
What I love most about this Large eco tote is how truly large it is. I wanted to test out if the straps were durable enough for a trip to the library, so I threw in the heaviest set of books I own (the three-part twelve-volume History of Middle-earth Box Set, of course) and I was very pleased by how well it held up.
Realm of Middle-earth™ Tea Towel
This tea towel is so lovely that I think I’ll display it as a wall-hanging rather than actually use it as a towel. I can’t imagine getting it dirty! The artwork and printing came out so nicely, and it is very generously sized.
