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.
