The furoshiki : it’s a traditional wrapping cloth that has a long history in Japan—originally used for carrying personal items to the public baths—and is quite the staple in the country today. Here in Canada, given our penchant for all things eco-friendly, the Mayukori Furoshiki is sure to catch on, fast! It’s a stylish cloth—one side printed cotton, the other side sateen—that’s definitely a great alternative to shopping bags, and can be used again and again (and again). It can also be used as a wine bag, a book bag, and even a case to carry your Mayukori pillow… all with a few easy folds. With a few tries—and help from these handy how-to videos—you’ll be a furoshiki folding goddess in no time!
