Furoshiki wrapping - an eco-friendly solution to gifting

When we came across the Furoshiki Wrap Company on Instagram, we knew we had to work with them. Their mission aligns perfectly with our personal values and ethics which are at the core of our natural soap business. Jane, the Founder at Furoshiki Wrap Company, was kind enough to write this guest blog post all about her furoshiki wrapping cloths, so read on to learn more about the art of Japanese fabric gift wrapping. Over to you Jane!

Furoshiki - beautiful, reusable gift wrap, perfect for eco-conscious consumers

More often than not, it can be hard for us to give our loved ones their gifts in person so it's great when a business offers gift wrapping so we can send our gift directly to the lucky recipient, saving us time and money. Bloom In Soap has found a perfect solution that fits with their sustainable ethos - furoshiki, a reusable fabric gift wrap.

Why use furoshiki fabric gift wrap?

Unfortunately, there is a lot of waste produced by gift wrap. In fact, 108 million rolls of wrapping paper and around 40 million rolls of sticky tape end up in landfills in the UK each year. So when you are shopping for an eco-conscious gift, it only makes sense to consider the eco-credentials of the wrapping too.
