While Mother’s Day is still a couple months away, we already have an incredible gift that is sure to delight any new mamas out there! Just in time for spring, Ergobaby has teamed up with the cult-followed women’s and childrenswear brand Dôen for a beautiful collection bursting with sweet florals. As the founders (and sisters!) behind Dôen are mothers themselves—Katherine Kleveland is mom to Wilder, 9, Shep, 7, and Prairie, 3, and Margaret Kleveland is mom to Julian, 6, and Georgie, 6 months—this collaboration has deeply personal roots.
“Ergobaby has played a huge role in both of our lives,” explains Katherine. “Margaret and I have shared the same carrier, which has gone back and forth between 5 babies over the last 9 years! We keep going back to the importance of having a carrier offer both physical support for the development of our babies, as well as emotional security through carrying them close to our chest and bodies. I used my Ergobaby SO much with my kids between the ages of 0 and 4 years old. It allowed me to travel solo on work trips, which otherwise would have been intimidating to do alone. I took my daughter Prairie to Europe at three months old, and was able to seamlessly get through security in the airport, ride trains between countries, take appointments, and experience everything I wanted to.”
The beautiful six-piece collection, which retails from $25 to $179, features some of Ergobaby’s most popular styles, accented by Dôen’s famed ditsy floral prints. There’s the Aura wrap (available in Honeybee Floral), and the Omni Carrier, Burb Bibs, and a darling Doll Carrier for big kids (which all come in two floral prints—Field of Daisies and California Wildflower). The line will be available for pre-order on shopdoen.com and ergobaby.com starting today, March 17th.
Check out the gorgeous collection, modeled by Katherine, Margaret, and their kiddos, in the slideshow below. Plus, find out more about the duo’s process in creating it!
- The Kleveland gang, all together.
- "As Ergobaby-wearing mothers ourselves, the partnership between Dôen and Ergobaby was born out of mutual appreciation and rooted in a shared desire to support women through the ever-changing seasons of life—a quality embodied by the timeless, feminine carrier designs created for this collection," explains Margaret (center).

- "I just love the Omni," says Margaret of her favorite collab piece. "It’s a life saver. I'm wearing Georgie inward facing with it now and plan to continue using as she gets older. As a working mom and busy parent, I love the opportunity to hold my new daughter close while having hands available to get things done. It is such a gift to be hands-free and know your baby is safe and supported!"
- On the storied Ergobaby that the sisters' used for 9 years between them: "Ah, our good friend, the classic tan Omni carrier!" says Katherine. "We have so many pictures of us wearing it throughout the years—some of my most treasured photos feature my oldest son Wilder in Hawaii nestled in the EB Omni carrier."

"We started chats with the Ergobaby team last year and are super excited to see it finally come to fruition," says Margaret, "especially right after the birth of my daughter, Georgie. Perfect timing! We decided to use prints that were super popular from our archive ditsy florals that make everyone happy."
