Furoshiki – Japanese Wrapping Cloth

 

You don’t have to forsake beautiful gift wrapping if you want to go zero-waste or give green gifts for the holidays. Cloths make attractive, reusable and multifunctional wrappings for gifts and much more. Our furoshiki are made from upcycled or vintage fabric. Produce in East Van.

Here are some examples of what a 50″ x 50″ furoshiki can cover.

There are many ways to tie a furoshiki depending on the object you are wrapping. The Japanese Ministry of Environment produced a nice page that teaches all the classic techniques. Enjoy!
