FABRIC WRAPS: CAPTURING THE WARMTH OF THE SEASON
Fabric wraps capture the warmth of the season by concealing gifts like a warm, comforting blanket. While wrapping paper sparks excitement and anticipation, fabric wraps invite the recipient to handle the gift gently, to be gentle and patient.
A Tradition Spanning Centuries
During the Nara period in Japan, a unique way of wrapping objects emerged. Silk cloths covered food items and gifts. A bow was tied at the top for easy handling and transportation. This method evolved into an artform known as furoshiki. In Korea, wedding and holiday gifts were wrapped in bojagi, beautifully stitched wrapping cloths embroidered with symbols of luck and protection.
In Europe, centuries before the invention of decorative wrapping paper, gifts were tucked in linens and leftover fabrics; a tradition that continued being popular in Scandinavia, where Christmas presents are often wrapped in the leftover wool used for making hand-made sweaters.
One of the Most Eco-Friendly Wrapping Methods
Low-quality, tear-prone wrapping paper can be wasteful, as it is meant to be discarded once the gift is unveiled. Just like our premium wrapping paper, fabric wraps offer an eco-friendly alternative, as they are meant to be stored as keepsakes. As they are not meant to be torn but carefully untied, they invite the recipient to unveil the gift with patience and gentleness.
Fabric wrapping materials can also be reused and repurposed throughout the years, especially when handled with care. Our unique fabric wraps, for example, can be displayed as wall art or even worn as scarfs.
