Furoshiki – Linen gift wrap
Designed using our leftover Linen fabric, our 80x80cm gift wrap, inspired by Japanese Furoshiki, can be reused endlessly. A thoughtful way to delight and surprise your loved ones!
Originating from a Japanese tradition, Furoshiki is a technique of folding and tying fabric. Originally, it was a wrap created to protect, store and carry precious items (jewellery, accessories, etc.).
First used during travel, it later became particularly popular in public baths, to keep personal belongings safe. Its literal translation is: furi, ‘bath’ and shiki, ‘spread out’. To avoid confusion, each fabric was personalised and distinguished by its colour or patterns.
Over time, Furoshiki has evolved. Sewing machines helped make it a part of daily life in Japan. After fading from use with the rise of plastic, it has now re-emerged as an ecological symbol: an ethical, reusable wrap.
Embrin continues this tradition, which has become an art form in Japan, by making gift wraps in our workshops from our linen offcuts. In this way, we avoid waste. A practical choice, allowing you to reuse this ‘fabric origami’ as you wish.
There are many ways to use it, so why not get creative and make the most of what this piece of linen can offer, giving it a second life.

A bit small to wrap the two "4 towels" packs but very pretty and looks lovely, I will add a sprig of flax.

Un peu petit pour emballer les deux packs "4 serviettes" mais très joli et du plus bel effet, j'y ajouterai un brin de lin.
Used to keep my loaves of bread, this square of fabric is very effective!

Utilisé pour conserver mes miches de pain, ce carré de tissus est d'une grande efficacité!
After already ordering many items from Embrin for several years, this sheer curtain is at the same level of quality! The weaving gives a warm look and the twine colour looks very good (bedroom). I plan to fit the windows in my living room by the summer. Thank you to the team!

Après avoir déjà commandé beaucoup d’articles chez Embrin depuis plusieurs à. Ers, ce voilage est au meme niveau de qualité ! Le tissage a un rendu chaleureux et la couleur ficelle rend très bien (chambre). Je prévois d’équiper les fenêtres de mon salon d’ici l’été. Merci à l'équipe !
In one week I ordered a lovely tablecloth in heather pink and then 4 embroidered napkins in chalk colour.
Perfect execution, and adaptation to my specific order (I had asked for a more personal embroidery colour than the one offered).
Thank you for the deadlines being completely respected just before Christmas!!!!
AND above all the welcome on the phone: I was guided, advised. Very much appreciated in this period of inhumanity.
I have become an addicted customer, determined to visit the farm one day or another....
Kind regards

PS the downside is being invaded by Embrin adverts whatever sites I visit... That is very unpleasant

En un semaine j'ai commandé une jolie nappe couleur bruyère puis 4 serviettes brodée couleur craie.
Parfaite exécution, et adaptation à ma commande spécifique (j'avais demandé une couleur de broderie plus personnelle que celle proposée).
Merci pour les délais totalement respectés juste avant Noël!!!!
ET par-dessus tout l'accueil au téléphone: j'ai été guidée, conseillée. Très appréciable en cette période d'inhumanité.
Je suis devenue une cliente accro, décidée à passer un jour ou l'autre à la ferme....
Cordialement
Monique Rabin
PS le bémol c'est d'être envahie par la pub embrin quelque soit les sites que je consulte... Ca c'est très désagréable
Beautiful quality.

Belle qualité.
I can only repeat what I have already said: your towels are perfect, well finished, pleasant to care for. I already have 8 different colours to vary according to my mood... my guests are always delighted so now I have ordered some to give as a present! And for me something new: a few stripes: very nice as well! Maybe the start of a new collection!

Je ne peux que répéter ce que j ai déjà dit : vos serviettes sont parfaites, bien finies, agréables à entretenir. J ai déjà 8 couleurs différentes pour varier au gré de mes envies … mes invités sont toujours ravis du coup maintenant j en ai commandé pour faire un cadeau ! Et pour moi une nouveauté : quelques lignées : très chouettes aussi ! Peut être le début d une nouvelle collection !
I use it to wrap fitted sheet and folded pillowcases, more practical in the cupboard.

Je m'en sers pour emballer drap-housse et taies pliés, plus pratique dans l'armoire.
The colours of the 3 packs matched my expectations.
They are Christmas presents, I am waiting for feedback from my grandchildren.

Versatile item received in grey, whereas I thought I would get it in orange as shown in the photo. A pity.....

Article passe partout recu couleur gris, alors que je pensais le recevoir en orange comme sur la photo. Dommage.....
When you give a present, it’s nicer and more unusual.
It has happened to us that we left it there and found it back at our place at the next present ^^

Quand on fait un cadeau, c'est plus sympa et atypique.
On nous est arrivé de le laisser sur place et de le retrouver chez nous au cadeau d'après ^^
Excellent work. Elegance and beautiful drape of the double linen curtains. Taking the measurements was made easier by your recommendations.

As good as hoped. And the colours last if you follow the procedure.

Aussi bien qu'espérer. Et les couleurs tiennent en suivant la procédure.
I use it as a hand towel. For me, Furoshiki does not really make sense in France, at least not as a gift wrap. But that is my opinion.

Je m'en sers comme essuie main. Pour moi le Furoshiki n'a pas de réel sens en France, en tout cas pas comme paquet cadeau. Mais c'est mon opinion.
Perfect
