Furoshiki Wrap / Bag- Large

Description

Simple and elegant, eco-friendly and fun, furoshiki wraps can be folded many ways for carrying/wrapping a variety of items.

Measuring approximately 45.5x45.5" (116 cm square), this wrap large enough to fold and use as a tote bag or small purse. You can use it to easily carry your big beach towel, sunscreen and book. Or use it to pick up a week's worth of produce from the farmer's market. Refold, retie and use according to your needs. Folds flat and stores anywhere.

This wrap is machine sewn around the edges, made from 100% cotton in a natural color, and uses water-based screen printing inks to screen print abstract kelp designs in a soothing green.
