​

It is folded in a manner similar to origami to create beautiful gift-wrapping and bags.

What Size are Furoshiki?

Furoshiki and Reusability

We're all looking for ways to live our lives in a more mindful way - ways that mean we're being a little kinder to the planet.

​

Sometimes small changes are the way to start, which include the benefits of using reusable Japanese furoshiki as part of our daily lives.

​

Furoshiki are steadily increasing in popularity as more people around the world choose this exceptional alternative to plastic shopping bags and unrecyclable gift-wrapping paper and tape.

​

We have a beautiful range of organic cotton furoshiki in-store.
