Using the finest Tango Chirimen (silk crepe), each HIROCOLEDGE FUROSHIKI is hand-dyed by the specialist.
Furoshiki literally means “cloth for the bath” and was first used in the 14th century as a way to wrap one's clothes while taking a public bath.
It is an oversized square cloth, dyed in a variety of beautiful colors, hues and patterns.
Over the years, it has been replaced by modern handbags and has lost its popularity, but it is making a comeback due to the recent environmental considerations.
It's reusable, durable and versatile, and it can be used for wrapping, carrying, and storing things a lot more stylish than a typical plastic bags.
It can also be used as a tablecloth, for decorating the wall, as a scarf, and for gift wrapping on special occasions. If you'd like to know how to fold furoshiki, please click here for details.
