Emmeline Textiles Partita Wisteria

I got the chance to host another Emmeline Textile and! After being able to test Eleanor Pearl and falling in love with it, I didn’t hesitate to say yes when asked.

The wrap came in loom state. The first thing I noticed was the detail that went into the packaging. From the instruction manual to the tags to the ribbon neatly tied around it all. The wrap is a grayish purple herringbone, with contrasting sides. In loom state it was already soft and floppy, so I was excited to see it transform! The loom to bloom wasn’t too dramatic but there was a huge difference in the feel.

I couldn’t wait to get first ups in it so I tossed the 15 lb 4 month old on. It was even softer! It was like the perfect pair of jeans. It was soft, hugged in all of the right places, stayed put and the baby was weightless. We hung out outside for a bit, blowing bubbles with the bigger kids and there was no budge. Next up was my 26 lb 2 year old in a Double Hammock. The chest pass was amazing. The wrap had a smidgen of horizontal stretch, a smidgen of vertical stretch and the perfect amount of diagonal stretch the get the chest pass in place. And again, he  budge even with his trying to get out.

The next day I put both boys on. Most of my wearing is tandem, so I really appreciate wraps that can hold both boys with no issue. This was one of those wraps. I did the toddler in a DOUBLE hammock tied at shoulder with the tails as a rebozo for the baby. And it was perfect. It kept both boys in place with no issue. Later in the week I was even able to get my 36 lb almost 4 year old up with the same results.

The wrap is dry, grippy, has good diagonal stretch, holds a half knot. If reminded me of a less dry Pavo Gotham. I would definitely recommend!
