Honkyblues and Capital, thank you for your advice!
I have been checking out different brands of "modernised"/"westernised" asian type carriers, and I'll for sure get one or two like that for everyday use.
What I'm looking for now, however, is something more authentic, possibly handmade, in traditional material and pattern to use on special occasions.
I know it's a tricky inquiry...
but any advice is really appreciated!
Thanks again!
