Hey guess what? I'm finally reviewing a wrap I actually own! This is my Inda Jani Reyado 3. Inda Jani wraps are handwoven in mexico, there are many different weaves, and colors available. They are very affordable (under $100 usually) to buy direct, but they sell out very quickly when they are available, and the 100% cotton Reyado is one of their most popular wraps. I was extremely lucky to score this one and I'm so glad I did it is one of my favorite wraps ever and worth so so much more than I paid. When I first got it I didn't use it right away. They arrive in loom state (freshly woven) and have to be washed before using so I threw it in the wash but when it came out it was still fairly rough so I braided it and hung it up as a hammock and I left it there for a few weeks. I just wasn't reaching for it so I decided to throw it up for trade. I put it on for action pics and realized I kind of really liked it and while I got amazing offers for it I wore it every day and realized there was no way I could let it go. This wrap is not perfect, it came with "flaws" it has knots and pulls and its not perfect but it's so real. I feel so connected knowing that another woman out there made this wrap with her hands, probably to earn money to care for her own children. But beyond that none of the so called flaws matter because it's beautiful the colors are so vibrant and the texture is to die for. The weave is open and airy and the wrap is the cooshiest smooshiest pillow. It has stretch and bounce. It snuggles my squishy SG and supports LD too, I love everything about it. There are a few things that some people might not love though, It is fairly textured and grippy, It has blunt ends and it's fairly thick in hand, yielding a large knot. It has only one middle marker and It is also prone to pulls. But none of that bothers me, in the end I recently temp traded it for 3 weeks and I'm so glad it's home now. I might send it out again sometime, but it's permastash here. Definitely the best value I've found so far in a wrap.
