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.
