I received this item two years ago from a flea market site. The black and gray design is stylish and matches any of my outfits as a mom. It's also well-made, and my shoulders didn't get tired easily. There are no instructions. - Some linting and slight staining on the inside (washed). - The elastic band that holds the waist ties together is stretched out (see image 7). I used a hair tie to secure the excess waist ties. *Will be packaged with waterproof protection and shipped in a recycled cardboard box. *Please consider only if you accept that this is a used item and has been stored at home.
