New at jodii: Furoshiki

Furoshiki are a traditional Japanese wrapping cloth that are used to transport clothes, gifts, or other goods. Furoshiki are the eco-friendly wrapping cloths and shopping bags and can help reduce waste and care for our environment. They are reuseable and multipurpose and come in a wide variety of sizes and designs.
When I visited Japan in spring this year, I was fascinated by the use of Furoshiki. They allow you to wrap almost anything or you simply use them as decor.
At jodii I want to offer you some very nice Furoshiki in different colourful designs. There is also an instruction manual (English / Deutsch) online. Enjoy!

Furoshiki ist eine traditionelle Verpackungsweise aus Japan um Kleidung, Geschenke oder andere Sachen zu transportieren oder einfach nur schön zu verpacken. Als Geschenkpapier und Einkaufstasche hilft Furushiki Müll zu vermeiden und die Umwelt zu schonen. Es ist wiederverwendbar und bei allen möglichen Gelegenheiten zu gebrauchen. Man kann damit fast alles verpacken, hübsch einwickeln, transportieren oder es einfach nur als Tischdecke verwenden.
