Furoshiki: Traditional Japanese wrapping cloth

Furoshiki is a traditional Japanese squire fabric with a thousand-year history.

It's a reusable, eco-friendly alternative to plastic bags and packaging, and can be tied in different ways to accommodate various shapes and sizes. It's a fun and creative way to carry your belongings while reducing your environmental impact.

Traditionally made from silk or cotton, these versatile cloths were a practical and stylish way to transport items.

Today, furoshiki has become a favored choice for carrying a wide range of items.

  • Groceries

    Use a furoshiki to transport your food items and reduce your use of plastic bags.

  • Lunch

    Wrap your meal, fruits, and beverages in a furoshiki and bring it to the office or school.

  • Clothing

    Use a furoshiki to wrap and transport extra clothing, such as a jacket or sweater, or your gym clothes.

  • Gifts

    Wrap a present in a furoshiki for an eye-catching and distinctive touch, and use it again later for another purpose.

  • Wine bottle

    Use a furoshiki to carry a bottle of wine to a social gathering or outdoor event, instead of a traditional wine bag.

  • Shopping

    Use a furoshiki to carry your shopping items, replacing the need for plastic bags or paper bags.
