66. OSCHA Surya Benvolio

Surya Benvolio - one of these wraps I fell in love with straight after preview, just really loved before I even got it . I really wanted and I had to have it - even  it is available 'like tat' and so easy to get one, still hanging in the store as there was no general, huge ' boom ' in wrap world, overloaded with loads of new brands. I just cant understand why as i was totally impressed.

Surya pattern is the one i like with no excuses; not just a little, or 'i like but..' , no 'but' in here. I love the detailed sun, reminds me some buddhist or similar symbols, anyway, this is exotic and tempting, i was ok about this even in yellow. There was blue one later, i really couldn`t do even bamboo blend was more than enticing. But not, still cant do light blue wraps, no changes, unfortunatelly.

But deep indigo, och, this one sounds great! I was expecting even darker after swatch pics, almost black, but finally it is deep, deep indigo. In compare with all-cotton Milky Way it is darker and deeper, definitely. Nati was rather blue, dark, but still blue. And wrong sides - Benvolio one is just white, or almost white, MilkyWay`s is just blue, blue as sky. What a pity i cant take a comparison pic but MW brought me anniversary pfaus, long time ago, but this s different story (interesting aswell, one day, promise ;) )

So summing - medium weight Benvolio is supportive. Not 'super supportive' and not 'a little'. It is just supportive and it is great for my 13kg Nini and 16kg Ollie, too. Ollie, our toddler, was 'benvolied' all the 2h walk, front 'benvolied' and it was ok but enough. Longer walk could be tiring but after quick rest my hus could wrap him again i believe.

It is definitely great wrap for inexperienced in wrapping mama`s as it is SO EASY TO WRAP WITH it! Not slippy at all, a little bit rough makes wrap/carry art easier, i would say: just make it easy. I recommend, i do. Cheers, x

Surya Benvolio - jedna z tych chust, które po prostu pokochałam. I to zanim dostałam. Zapragnęłam i musiałam mieć - mimo, że jest łatwo dostępna, wciąż zalega w sklepie, nie było ogólnego 'bum'. Może nie było ogólnego, ale jest mój prywatny, zdecydowanie.

Wzór SURYA spodobał mi się od razu - lekko buddyjskie słoneczko zdecydowanie przypadło mi do gustu, nawet w kolorze żółtym, z którym generalnie dogaduję się średnio ( surya honey review ) - późniejszego niebieskiego jednak nie byłam w stanie przełknąć, mimo, że bambus kusił niemiłosiernie.
Co innego głębokie indygo, wpadające ( jak sądziłam po zdjęciach Oschy ) w czerń. Do czerni - jak okazało się w rzeczywistości - chuście tej daleko, co nie zmienia faktu, że jest elegancka i klasyczna, prawie jak mała czarna, ale ta - idealna jest (również) dla Panów.
Szkoda bardzo, że jest all-cottonem, niestety. Konopny Benvolio to byłaby dopiero męska rzecz. Na swoim składzie chusta traci, ale co z tego, skoro jest tak piękna:)
Kolor chyba najłatwiej porównać do innego legendarnego indigo - milky way, a jak. Szkoda, że nie mogę zrobić zdj porównawczego - mw przyniósł mi swego czasu rocznicowe pawiki b/w, ale wierzcie mi na słowo - właściwa strona Benvolio bardziej wpada w czerń, lewa zaś w biel; trochę jakby wyblakła. Milky Way był jednak niewątpliwie odcieniem niebieskiego, i to z obu stron.
Średniej zatem grubości all-cotton, o którym piszę, nosi. Po prostu. Ani wybitnie dobrze, ani źle. Nosi, jak dobra bawełna. ALE ZA TO JAKA PIĘKNA! Kilka zdjęć:

65. STARLINGHOUSE Kamala Kalyana



I was very excited about Starlinghouse tester coming but lets face it - i wasnt in ' since first sight love' even i was very impressed by pattern and colours, especially seagreen one, i mean - wrong side of wrap - it is absolutely stunning and me; so us. But first impression was quite disappointing as i was expecting typical woven wrap - dense and thick and i got (my first thought) - well known in whole the world india scarf. Incredibly beautiful but very thin and slippy. 


First tie was totally fail, no wrap under the bum and fabric sliding down from my shoulders. Not good so i had to do realy good wrap job to leave home with it.

And first nice suprise i wouldnt expect - kamala is nicely supportive, similar to quite thick all-cottons of other brands (even looks so different). And it needed no re-tie even -as i said- the fabric was definitelly slippy ( something like nati`s baboo-viscose). The idea was that i just need to wash it, as it usually goes with new wraps. After first ( hand, as i was so afraid about this soft and delicate fabric ) washing absolutely nothing changed, even measurments. Still slippy, thin and transparent . I was close to give up, using beauty as a scarf ( yep! ) till my son put jam sandwich on it - need to wash it again; and thanks God cause we have discovered that you just need to wash it on gentle  progam to get it no slippy- bit rough but still soft with elegant silk style shine. 

Much easier to tie beauty now. So.

Such a good newborn wrap- airy, soft and thin, so summer time squihes would be happy the most. Great for newborns but unfortunatelly definitely not good for unexperienced babywearing mums. It is moldable indeed but not stretchy at all what is more than helpfull at beginnings. And still a little bit slippy anyway.

Summation
Nice summer wrap (because not suitable for winter coats at all ) - soft and thin, just perfect for wrap-individualists thanks to unusual orient pattern, classy and feminine. It is definitely mum`s-wrap but not kiddy robots or daddy`s skulls. 
Easy to storage as needs just a little space if not in use - small women bag is enough for sure. If not - perfect as a scarf :) It is so unusual and gorgeous that i really considering this bit of luxury to stay with us.

...to be continued with more pics.

63. Natibaby Shiny Sky Pink (bamboo viscose blend)







It was sunny, July day in Szczecin , polish city, my husband`s hometown. Almost the other side of Poland as it is so close to polish coast. Even it is so far - Natibaby landed in there though. But what Natibaby! Swatch pics were amazing, new pattern of polish brand promised to be good when preview of release.

Firstly went in two blends - pink one was bamboo. Wait, no. Bamboo viscoze and yeah, this makes difference, unfortunately. I  hate bamboo viscoze, Natbaby`s especially. Too slippy, too shiny ( even for Shiny Sky ). 

But lets tie this beauty ( yep, beautifull with no doubts ). Not so bad, going well, bit stretchy - sounds good. But again - slippy, so hard to hold under the bum. Needed to re-tie after some time.

But beautifull again! :) Great shade of pink, not to piggy, not to bright. Dark and deep, great for me. So even its slippy - i would love beauty back. Someone? :)
