Natibaby Swan Lake

Since I was lucky enough to find a Natibaby Swan Lake on eBay, I thought it would be nice to share some pictures.

But first, I'd like to explain that although I'd love to sell every limited edition that Natibaby releases, most of the time quantities are very limited and there aren't any wraps left for resellers. I wish I could promise you to stock every new LE, but it's a promise I wouldn't be able to keep. So I simply think it's best to make no promises and just hope for the best. Sometimes I do manage to get a LE, which makes me (and the mama that gets to buy it) very happy.

So. I didn't buy this Swan Lake directly from Natibaby, but that doesn't make it any less beautiful. This is the 70% cotton, 30% linen one. It's soft, thick and cushy. And that shimmer!

Vatanai Chartres

So we had to stalk Didymos and Natibaby for their limited edition woven wraps, but now there is another brand to stalk: Vatanai. This year we had purple labyrinths (Blueberry) and also yellow with dark blue labyrinths: Chartres. The yellow colour is hard to describe, it's like beige, but with a bit more yellow than plain beige.

The weight is 641 grams for a size 4.50 m.

Didymos Jim Salvia with linen

Didymos is revisiting the popular Jim design from 2009. This is good news for all Jim lovers out there! Didymos Jim Salvia with 40% linen is thin, airy and shimmery.

It's definitely a summer wrap: the weight is 507 grams for a size 6.

Didymos Slate Silk Indio

Unfortunately, I didn't have any Anthracite Hemp Indio's around for comparison pics. But I'm pretty sure the dark colour of Anthracite and Didymos Slate Silk Indio are the same. With Anthracite, undyed hemp was used as the weft and with Slate Silk Indio the weft was undyed silk (30%). Very lovely!

Slate Silk Indio is even thinner than Leander Silk Waves, SSI weighs 528 grams for a size 6.

Didymos Leander Silk Waves

This very pretty Leander Silk Waves is made of 65% organic cotton and 35% silk (the label in the wrap and on the box say 30%, but don't believe them. It's 35%.)

It's very thin and light (the silk makes it appear almost weightless!). It weighs 571 grams for a size 6. It has this beautiful silk sheen.

Vatanai!

Of course, also when the weather is really warm, you still want to carry your baby. To prevent overheating, you might want to use a summer wrap. We have added some wonderful new summer wraps to our web store, from the Czech Vatanai. These wraps are incredibly soft after just one wash and they are thin and airy!
