Description
A Hand-Woven Rebozo is a traditional Mexican shawl designed to wrap around a woman’s body. Midwives, doulas, and support people actively use them during pregnancy and labour to help encourage the baby into optimal positions while providing comfort to the woman. These versatile rebozos also serve as a practical way to carry babies after birth. Please note that each Rebozo may vary slightly in size and colour due to its handmade nature.
- As a fashion item
- Encourage optimal fetal positioning to help turn a posterior baby during pregnancy or labour. When used by a midwife, doula or support person, the Rebozo acts like an extension of their arms. It allows the labouring mother’s weight to be supported (to find out more, visit the ‘Rebozos as a tool for pregnancy and labour‘ page)

Post-birth, the Rebozo shawl can be used as a baby carrier (to learn more, visit the Rebozo as a baby carrier‘ page); add an active voice.

These Rebozos are from a small Laos community, and women hand-weave them with care and skill. They feature traditional Lao designs and colours, showcasing the rich craftsmanship of the region. The women weave these on a lap loom, a labour-intensive process. The sale of every Rebozo helps their community and families with basic living expenses and supports Fair Trade, which is traditional handiwork by women for women.
