Review: Oscha Roses Danna

Brand: Oscha
Type: Roses Danna
Blend: 50% cotton, 50% combed cotton
Size: 3
The Oscha roses I have been dreaming of! I really love pink, and I feel it suits Joey and I, so when I saw Roses Danna, I knew these would be the roses for us! I was lucky and managed to get an invoice through Oscha's random draw system, and I was not disappointed when they arrived a couple of days ago. The colour is really beautiful - not hot pink, but not a washed-out pink either. Its a beautiful candy-floss pink on a pale lilac background, and being 50% combed cotton, Danna was beautifully soft straight out of the bag. I gave it a quick wash and steam iron, which fluffed it up even more, and it is now beautifully soft and cushy, making it comfortable even in a single layer carry. The roses pattern is quite textured, and I'm finding these cotton roses slightly more grippy compared to my linen (Aphrodite) and silk (Juliet) roses, but they are still really lovely to wrap with. The textured pattern of the roses is what appears to provide a lot of the cush, and I think Oscha's roses are one of my all-time favourite wrap designs. I really love this wrap, and it seems that quite a lot of people were lucky in getting one through the random draw, so I'm guessing it may have been one of Oscha's slightly bigger releases (although this is only a guess!), meaning that hopefully anyone who wasn't lucky should be able to get hold of one fairly easily as they become available for sale. A beautiful wrap, and comfortable even in a shorter size with a toddler = perfection!

    1. This is a Kangaroo carry with flipped shoulders. I've done a photo tutorial for this carry previously on this blog. Its such a lovely carry - I find it very comfortable, and its great with a size 2/3/4 wrap :)

  2. Is it a thin material and cool to wear? I live in the tropics and have found my LL 100% cotton very hot

    1. I find the Oscha Roses pattern quite thick and dense, so although the wrap itself isn't particularly thick, I'm not sure it is airy enough for very hot weather. I would say if you found LL cotton very hot, this wouldn't be any better. My favourite hot weather wrap is Oscha Alto Bluebell. Its a thinner, more airy wrap, but the linen makes it supportive aswell :)
