Beautiful things: Pavo Textile’s Etini Cobalt

There’s a certain magic to babywearing. One, it keeps your child so close that they are nearly always happy (“close enough to kiss” is the rule for proper baby height when wrapped on the parent’s body).  Two, it has eliminated so many parenting problems for me, including car seat abhorrence and lack of quality time after going back to work to name a few.  Traveling in particular is a breeze – wrap her up and there’s no crying, no complaining and most times, a great nap in there somewhere.

Three, they are devastatingly beautiful.

Case in point: Etini Cobalt by Pavo Textiles. Melt. Heart eyes.

When you become a mom, a lot of things immediately go out the window.  Time for shopping and fashion was the first thing to go, and any clothes I buy are online.  I used to have time to browse thrift stores and score awesome pieces at great prices, and now, well I’m lucky if I can find a pair of shoes I like online and get over my trust/quality barrier. It’s a pretty high barrier. However, buying Etini Cobalt took me, oh, maybe three seconds.

The weave. The colors. Guh. I just can’t part with this wrap, ever. I don’t know how I’ll use it after our babywearing days are over, but I’m confident I’ll think of something.
