Occasionally we have customers asking us what size furoshiki they should get. Which size can be used to wrap picnic bento boxes? How about to use as a bag?
With different size categories, it can be confusing to know which size furoshiki is best for your needs! We break it down (or rather *unwrap* it all) here and introduce some furoshiki uses you might not even have considered!
Small yet versatile: 45-50cm furoshiki
This size is your dependable everyday-use furoshiki. It's perfect for wrapping small, medium and most large bento boxes. (Watch our bento-wrapping tutorial here.)

It's also great for sustainable gift wrapping for smaller presents. Your reusable furoshiki gift wrapping will make your present even more special! This Cochae series is especially great for animal-lovers. 
Or, use this size to wrap your tissue box to add some color to your home decor, like with this vibrant Heart Vine Pink/Brown Isa Monyo Reversible Furoshiki (48 cm).
You can even slip it into your bag to use as a handkerchief/ thin hand-towel while on on the go (works best with cotton furoshiki). The owl that peeks out from the kata kata Furoshiki 50cm | Owl (Green) will make you smile every time you open your bag.

It can also be used to elegantly wrap gifts and even wine bottles!

Want to instantly add some artwork to your walls? These large furoshiki can serve as a stunning wall-hanging, just like with the 104cm Large Hokusai Ukiyo-e Furoshiki | South Wind, Clear Sky
