"The design is based on the functional aspect of the furoshiki; the idea of wrapping and folding. At first glance it appears as a bold and abstract pattern but when seen as a whole, it becomes apparent that the stripes depict manipulated and tied fabric." (via

Not only do I adore this pattern, I love the fact that this item is so multifunctional! How neat is this? I really love this item by

Furoshiki are so cool!
ReplyDeleteI came across a bicycle print one on Etsy last year and I could kick myself for not getting it now I can't find it anywhere.
It 's so lovely to make the wrapping a great present in itself. :)
perfect - very functional and love the colours!
