About the brand: Ever since I saw the designs of Dahlia, I loved them. “Dahlia” is the name for a beautiful flower and so are the wraps. The design I tested, “Augustine” reminds me of a Dahlia.

Dahlia wrap offers two different collections: the regular and the exclusive one. The first one aims towards parents who start babywearing for the first time and don’t want to spend too much money on a wrap nor want to care a lot for it. Those are available for everyone’s budget and easy-care. Still, the designs and colours are totally appealing.

Dahlia wraps exclusive collection

The exclusive collection offers a small range of wraps with special materials like silk, cashmere and wool, but also cotton. These designs as well, are really beautiful. Their density is a bit higher. Those wraps are made for more experienced babywearers who like to invest a bit more in a favourite accessoire.

Quote:

While her baby napped, she had only one goal in mind: discovering how to produce her own baby slings that would be both comfortable and safe. This is how the Dahlia wrap was born.

My first impression: A beautiful mid-thick wrap with a small amount of stretch. Merino & black lets me think of a rather warm wrap for summer… Lovely structure and texture, though. It’s already pretty soft (it has travelled as tester before).

How does it wear: The wrap is yet a bit too much of fabric for the kangaroo I intended for due to the shortness of the wrap. You can see that the wrap job isn’t that proper (I don’t like the kangaroo anyway 😉 but sufficient enough for our walk. I tried to use the wrap in a Ruck, too. It was okay. The knot gets big.

When carrying my daughter, the wrap was really comfortable and supportive. I didn’t feel her weight. But I’ve been reassured that this isn’t the wrap for a dumpy, warm summer weather and a walk in the sun. 😉 For winter or autumn, it would be perfect!

Classy and comfy for skilled wrappers

Conclusion: If you like wool, this is for you. Imagine it worn with your favourite coat on colder days in the city. The design is very classy and unexcited but beautiful and feminine. And don’t be afraid, it won’t feel itchy.
Use it with your bigger baby or toddler and enjoy the comfort it brings. Be a skilled wrapper and this one will be a lovely addition to your stash.

Tested in june 2017 with my 5 months old babygirl – thanks for the opportunity!
