(ENG) Baby carrying belt: mainly black with red embroidery to produce a stark colour contrast. Flat stitch and stack stitch are used. Various butterfly patterns are symmetrically distributed at the centre. Embroidered butterflies are meticulously and realistically detailed, with antennas, bodies and wings with patterns.
