We were excited to have Mr. Bowie (100% cotton) by an Austrian/German weaving company Kapualove visit us for a week. Since we don't use strollers and thus carry a lot in
general, Mr. Bowie got
quite an intensive period with us and we wore the wrap for some ten hours
in total within the few days. 
As we move around by foot a lot, Mr. Bowie accompanied us
when we walked to the city to meet friends and visit post office (to
collect some fluffy mail, of course), when we took our doggie out, and
our child also napped in the wrap several times. Mr. Bowie also made an entry in our local sling meet and was greeted by a lovely mama who already owned a Mr. Bowie in past. 
With our wrappee having reached almost 13kg, an all cotton wrap
is normally a no-go for us, but I was eager to see if Mr. Bowie would
make an exception. And it definitely did! We still mostly wear one-layer
carries and I was pleased to notice Mr. Bowie didn't feel at all diggy
and it continued being supportive even after three hours in a front wrap
cross carry. 
The wrap is lovely in a double hammock, too, even though
the wrapping qualities of Mr. Bowie somewhat surprised me and my wrap job
sagged in the dh after a while. Namely, this wrap has an amazing
diagonal stretch which I loved. It gives your carries a nice bounce and
definitely smoothens the shoulder experience when wearing a heavier
wrappee. Mr. Bowie also stayed surprisingly well on outdoor clothes even
if we wore it on the top of my softshell coat.
Monochrome/b&w
colors or strong graphic prints are not something I would normally go
for, so I enjoyed getting to wear a wrap having both these looks for a
change. Personally, I would feel the amount of light colors in any wrap
be too sensitive to wear but it surely helps a lot Mr. Bowie is washable
at 60°! It is an easy-care wrap which you will not be afraid to go out
with, no matter whether it is sunny or rainy. We were happy to have the chance to be part of the Kapualove TryMe Team 2.0 and I was impressed by how thoughtfully everything was organised, from the piece of fabric arriving via mail in advance to little greet notes and washing liquid that accompanied Mr. Bowie in the parcel. Thank you to Kapualove and Stephanie & Daniel for this opportunity!
