About the company: Coco-N has been called to life this summer and herewith is one of the newest babywearing brands around. I had the opportunity to get one of the prototypes as the testing phase is still running and the first release is yet to come. Coco-N has been founded by Dmitry and Amata who have been associated with babywearing for years. Their aim is to combine babywearing and style and they say: “Quality, variety of blends, unique patterns and incredible comfort of wearing – we’ve chosen best of the best.” Buying a wrap is no longer like getting an object of utility, it’s an experience like shopping a piece of fashion.

My first impression: I received theprototype in loom state and was adviced to get it a wash first. I did, with a delicate detergent suitable for the fine blend the wrap has. It dried really quickly. When you touch the wrap, it feels wooly but not too warm. Soft, but structured. It has a nice grip, almost no bounce here. I’m curious how it will wear.
The wrap arrived in a wonderful box, wrapped up in tissue paper. Look at the pictures, like a beautiful present. The chain design is timeless and elegant as is the subtle tone of rose.

How does it wear: My first ups were with my doll. Size 4 is my basic Ruck size but I wanted to try other carries with my doll and had the opportunity to wear my toddler during a walk in the mountains in a Ruck. Pregnant as I am, I just managed to tie in front, over my bump, with the last centimetres of the wrap, haha 😀 What a supportive wrap!!! I would never again underestimate the power of silk! I always heard about silk being toddlerworthy but didn’t believe as I thought it’s just too thin. But this blend, combined with linen, cash and cotton, was perfect! Once tied it stayed in place. I didn’t wear my daughter too long as I wasn’t used to it anymore and we only did a short walk, but it went perfect. Also during my doll tests, I had no problems tightening the wrap so it might take some attention for a proper wrap job with a tiny baby. The wrap seems to be slightly warm but not as warm as an entire woolie. It felt comfy with around 25 degrees outside.

Conclusion: Elegant, supportive, timeless and a luxury blend. Give it a try if you want something special. I’d prefer this wrap with a bigger baby, not newborn, and can recommend to use it till toddler age.
