Gift wrapping made from recycled fabric, cotton and polyester.
Furoshiki is revolutionizing the way we give gifts during the holidays, Mother's and Father's Days, and birthdays . This Japanese folding technique transforms simple squares of fabric into elegant and personalized packaging.
Adopt this ecological method to wrap your gifts of all shapes and sizes: books, bottles, clothes, bags, jewelry, toys, or any other everyday objects.
Easy to learn, this ancient practice allows you to create unique packages in just a few steps. Paké furoshikis are woven specifically for a beautiful hold of the material, the knot, and a slightly shiny finish.
Choose traditional or modern designs to suit your tastes and those of the recipient. At Paké, the patterns are graphic, plant-based, animal-based, and more.
In addition to being aesthetic, furoshiki embodies an eco-responsible gesture, considerably reducing waste linked to disposable packaging.
Reusable gift wrapping
Furoshiki is notable for its remarkable versatility . A single square of fabric can be used to wrap gifts of various shapes throughout the year. This approach significantly reduces the amount of waste generated during the holidays.
By adopting furoshiki, you'll save substantial money in the long run. No more repetitive purchases of wrapping paper, ribbons, and other disposable accessories. An initial investment in a few squares of quality fabric is enough to cover all your wrapping needs.
Furoshiki also offers a unique creative opportunity. Each fold becomes a personal expression, allowing a special message to be conveyed to the gift recipient. This practice adds an emotional dimension to the act of giving, strengthening the bond between people.
Pass it on or reuse it, but never throw it away. That's the Paké movement !
Japanese fabric wrapping since the 8th century
The furoshiki has its roots in the Nara era (710-794), where it was called "tsutsumi" . At the time, this square of cloth was used to protect imperial treasures and sacred objects in Buddhist temples.
Over the centuries, its use spread to the nobility and then to the common people. During the Heian period (794-1185), it became "koromotsusumi" for wrapping clothes during travel.
The term "furoshiki" appeared during the Edo period (1603-1868), when public baths became popular. The Japanese used it to wrap their personal belongings and use it as a bath mat.
Today, the Japanese Ministry of the Environment is promoting furoshiki as a sustainable alternative to disposable packaging, thus reviving this age-old tradition.

Is my Paké gift wrap washable?
Yes! You can machine wash it at 30°, air dry it, and iron it on the white side (without pattern).
I'm giving a gift wrapped in a furoshiki. Do I take the furoshiki back or do I give it with it?
You do what you want, of course! Depending on your desires and your budget. The most important thing is to avoid producing unnecessary waste.
If the person you're treating isn't familiar with the concept, it might be a nice idea to leave them a second gift to get the ball rolling. If they're familiar with eco-friendly practices, they won't be surprised if you take your Paké back. Most furoshiki enthusiasts do.
