The beauty of the furoshiki is in its versatility...use it to gift wrap a present, carry bottles of wine to a dinner party, tie it into a handbag or wear it a scarf...one simple and beautiful piece of cloth, and the list is endless.

Designed by British designer Hannah Waldron for Link Collective.
Designer Hannah Waldron comments on her inspiration: "This design is about the journey out of a city, specifically London. It is an observation of the city’s varying pace, spacing and architecture, and the need one feels to escape beyond the city’s boundaries to nature every once in a while. After creating the design, I discovered that the spiral motif in traditional japanese art signifies luck, which feels serendipitous. I like the idea of carrying things around wrapped in ideas of adventure and hope for the future."
