Market-leading innovators in pumping products come together to offer high-quality bag designed to fit Medela's new Freestyle Hands-free pump

WASHINGTON , Feb. 15, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Sarah Wells Bags, champion for breastfeeding parents offering stylish, functional, professional handbags and accessories for moms to carry their breast pumps and more, today announced the Sarah Wells x Medela Allie Sling Bag, a new bag designed to hold the new Medela Freestyle™ Hands-free Breast Pump motor, collections cups, and tubing. The Allie Sling Bag is now available for $75 and comes with features made to carry everything pumping moms need, whether they're pumping at home, at work, or need an easy, hands-free option that fits their unique needs, busy schedules, and modern lifestyles.

The collaboration brings together Sarah Wells , an innovator in breast pump bags who has built and supported a diverse community of pumping parents for ten years, and Medela, voted the most trusted breast pump brand in America*. The Allie Sling Bag is a new solution that puts comfort, thoughtful design, and functionality first. Most importantly, the Freestyle™ Hands-free Breast Pump motor can stay in the bag while using the collection cups, allowing moms the freedom and comfort to remain hands-free while pumping.

"I am so excited to collaborate with a partner like Medela, whose pumps helped me meet my own breastfeeding goals over a decade ago, to bring the new Allie Sling Bag to moms everywhere," said Sarah Wells , founder of Sarah Wells Bags. "My career has always focused on empowering women, and for so many new mothers, that can start as intuitively as improving the rewarding, but often tough process of pumping. I'm proud to bring this new product to the community that Sarah Wells Bags has been able to build, and to expand our reach even wider through this partnership with Medela."

The Allie Sling Bag features:

"Medela has a strong legacy of creating and delivering best-in-class breast pumps and accessories to support new families," explains Jeff Castillo , executive vice president of Medela. "We are thrilled to continue this tradition by partnering with Sarah Wells and her team to bring breastfeeding mothers across North America a convenient solution to support their breastfeeding goals when on the go. The new Allie Sling Bag, designed with Medela's Freestyle Hands-free in mind, is a collaborative approach to support mothers in maximizing their milk expression and prioritizing comfort."

The Freestyle Hands-free is Medela's smallest and first wearable double electric breast pump, designed so breastfeeding mothers can pump anywhere, any time and hands free. The portable, compact and pocket-sized pump motor is a separate unit, allowing the ultra-lightweight and anatomically shaped collection cups to fit discreetly inside the wearer's bra without weighing down their breast. Using proven technology, Freestyle Hands-free optimizes a mother's milk flow and provides a superior hands-free pumping experience for busy, multitasking parents.
