FUROSHIKI

Furoshiki? The zero-waste gift wrap that's sure to make a splash!

An original idea, Furoshiki is a wrapping technique that comes straight from Japan, where gifts are an important part of the culture.

The aim of this wrapping technique is to wrap the gifts in a pretty square of fabric to which knots are made. Totally zero-waste, you won't need tape or ribbons, which usually end up in the garbage can with the paper.

Furoshiki is not only an eco-friendly gesture within everyone's reach, but it's also practical, fast, and adaptable to all your gifts. You'll be amazed at the number of folding and knotting possibilities offered by this square of fabric!

Its advantage: Furoshiki has much more than one life: it can be reused again and again in many different ways. As gift wrap, scarf, bag, or even in sewing projects.

So go ahead, add colour and cheer to your Christmas tree with Furoshiki!

Did you know?

Furoshiki (風呂敷) means 'bath bundle' in Japanese. Traditionally, this small knotted scarf was used to carry toiletries to public baths.

The Japanese aren't the only ones to use these colourful fabric knotting techniques, in Africa too it's rooted in tradition. Women use knotted cloths to carry everything they need.
