I offer beautifully woven Rebozos (the Mexican name) aka Mantas (the Ecuadorian name) aka ‘baby wraps’, which are all 100% non-stretch cotton, hand-made on Mexican pedal looms, with gorgeous colours and different patterns. I offer different sizes (both different lengths & different widths), as well as different types of woven structures (referred to as “close weave” and “open weave”). They are sourced from different villages and weavers communities and cooperatives from around Mexico – you can read about them in the descriptions.

The Rebozos can be used for Rebozo massage, Closing the Bones work, baby/toddler wearing, wrapping around or underneath your pregnant belly for support, support in labour, in Spinning Babies work in labour, for wrapping your pelvis/hips (postpartum or in general), for wrapping your pelvis when menstruating, to help with endometriosis pains, to use after a hysterectomy, during & after a miscarriage, or just as a beautiful colourful shawl! The Fajas (Womb / Back Support Belts) serve many of these purposes too (wrapping underneath pregnant belly, wrapping pelvis or hips postpartum / while menstruating / just in general , help with endo pains, after hysterectomies, etc.). An interesting article by Dr. Sara Wickham on the evidence for using rebozos in labour can be found here. If you are looking for a Rebozo for baby wearing, please make sure to get a close weave of min. 2.5m long. I provide sling rings too, plus I can send guides/videos for using rebozos for baby wearing.

These woven shawls (I only stock cotton ones) are regarded as very sacred. They are referred to as “an extension of loving hands“, and the whole process is artisanal. A rebozo typically consists of two parts: the woven part made on the loom, and the fringe. The woven part is usually made by men on a pedal loom (and sometimes by women on a back strap loom), the fringe by women. The process to create a finished piece (incl. the dying of the thread etc.) can take up to several months, depending on the plant-dyes (and the process involved for a certain dye) and the intricacy of the pattern and of the tassels. It starts with the cotton being harvested, the thread being spun from the beaten cotton and then being dyed, the cloth being woven and then finally the fringe being knotted by hand. The fringe can be very simple or extremely elaborate.

If you want to watch a very informative video about how Rebozos are woven and tassels are knotted, I highly recommend this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AUhe_AcSKus

For me, the humble Rebozo symbolizes both the fabric and the tight weave of Sisterhood (or Brotherhood): it provides support, comfort, softness, the feeling of being held; it can put us back together or keep us together during times where we feel ourselves unravelling or need to physically feel that support of others around us, and it offers a chrysalis-like space for transformation. Being rocked and wrapped in a Rebozo helps a person to find their own self and center again and seals up any energy leakages, just like being in a circle of kindred spirits can do. For women specifically, just like a Red Tent provides a protected space for menstruating women, a Rebozo holds you during your times of bleeding (menstruating, postpartum, miscarriage, …). I also often describe a Rebozo as “the fascia (connective tissue) outside of the body“, as in many ways it takes over the function of our fascia, allows a deep release of tension from the connective tissue when worked with, and allows for a deep energetic feeling and connection to develop between the one offering the rocking and massaging with the rebozo, and the one receiving it, to the point that it almost becomes like a ‘dance’ between the two.

Rebozos (or their counterparts in other South American countries) have been part of pre- and postnatal South-American culture since pre-Hispanic times. Through your orders at a fair trade price setting instead of a high street pricing, you help to provide work for entire villages to preserve this sacred ancient weaving trade, while also allowing a percentage to be donated to local independent midwives through whom the art of Rebozo gets carried on into our time and our societies.

Washing instructions:

  • please first soak your rebozo (especially the open weave ones) overnight in water with a cup of salt or vinegar added to it, to help the colours to set
  • wash before first use
  • hand wash or use a hand wash/delicate cycle setting
  • 30° / 40° max.
  • use a mild detergent – I use a natural detergent, such as ivy leaves
  • ideally dry in the shade to protect the colours
  • don’t bleach
  • don’t tumble dry
  • protect the fringes by tying them together or tying a sock around them when washing
  • or use a laundry bag for protection

Return policy: you can contact me for returns within 14 working days after receiving your parcel as long as your item is unused and has not been soaked or washed yet. Return postage is covered by the customer, and refunds will be made upon receipt of the returned item. Please note that colours may vary depending on what screen you view them on, and that rebozos are individual handwoven and hand-dyed pieces, with no 2 ever being the exact same. Handwoven rebozos might contain some weavers knots, pulls, … – these are not damages but signs that they are handwork. Slight changes in colour or size might also be due the change in the thread lots and as the rebozos are handmade by various artisans. Each rebozo, in the end, is a completely unique piece.
