A range of furoshiki wrapping cloths created by Caroline using inspiration from time spent living in Kobe, Japan.
Furoshiki, ふろしき is the name of the cloth that is used to wrap gifts. Originally invented to carry clothes when using a public bathouse, the item has become a sustainable way to wrap gifts in the modern world. Silk, cotton or chirimen (a special Japanese woven and textured fabric) are popular materials and patterns match the seasons or the celebration.
