The Mexican rebozo has been around for generations and was originally used by women to carry their babies on their back as they worked or walked. It has since been used for so much more. Many doulas now used these in home child birth. The small is great as a table runner or as a scarf. The regular size is great to wear as a shawl or as a baby carrier whereas the x-large can be used as a throw or beach blanket. Each rebozo is woven with fine acrylic fibers with brightly colored patterns. As such, slight variations in color and pattern may occur. Item is machine washable. Made in Mexico.
