Furoshiki (風呂敷) is a traditional Japanese technique of folding a fabric used for use as a means of carrying clothing, gifts, bento, etc.

An eco-responsible way to wrap what you need to transport and is a perfect replacement for gift wrap.

Its shape is traditionally rectangular but is currently most often square. We find them made from all kinds of fabrics, such as cotton, silk, nylon...
