This wrap is a size 5, 100% cotton, 280g/m²
So, who remembers my review of dolce contatto's first released wrap nautic bluette? I loved the thinkness of that one with my toddler and had the chance to test their second released design birthing mandala. This one is much lighter and much more suitable for newborns.
I love the design of the wrap and it's meaning behind it. The design was hand drawn by DeaLabs (Melissa Giovannini)
Mandala means 'circle' and 'center' it's circular arrangement is the harmony and the balance of nature, essence of life itself, the connection of all parties in the Mandala, is the immense natural resources in addressing th ehuman transformations, integrationg the new.
The Lotus flower connected to an umbilical card is meant to represent the birth and re-birth in all forms. As an infant passing through the experience of coming to light, a woman who goes through her own transformation during childbirth and becoming a mom. Also the lotus flower emerges from the darkness, from the murky watern showing itself in all its whiteness and purity, representing the life force capable of regeneration.
The sun and the moon are elements that are opposed, the first symbolizes the male energy: heat and light, while the moon is an expression of the feminine side of creations and darkness. untited in a drawing representing the complementarity needed for balance of the world. As the darkness of the night, the moon draws the tides, and then give way to the sunrise and the birth of a new day, a new life, a new baby.
Here is the link to the facebook page of DeaLabs don't be shy to have a quick look around https://www.facebook.com/Dea-Lab-%E0%A4%A6%E0%A5%87%E0%A4%B5%E0%A5%80-410172625849523/
I so loved the explication of this mandala and the look of it that this wrap will stay here with me to welcome our second miracle to be born in October.
But enough now about the design and let's have a look at it's wrapping qualities. birthing mandala was a little stiff when I first opened the packages but nothing compared with nautic bluette. After a first wash and iron she was ready to wrap a newborn with, very moldable and easy to wrap.
I tried a lot of different carries with this wrap as it's just such an easy wrap to knot and try new things with.
I think this wrap is perfect for new moms that just start wrapping as it's a very easy wrap to start with and to learn how to wrap, I got this wrap myself for my new baby and to use in babywearing classes.
For me this wrap has the right amount of stretch not to firm to still get a nice pass and not to stretchy the wrapjob starts sagging.
Overall I'm totally in love with this wrap and it will definitely stay with me for a while to wrap our new baby.
The color of this tester is acquamarina and this wrap is also released in the color coral which is also very very pretty.
