Collection: The Wagara Collection
Drawing from fond memories of colors and patterns, Keiko developed 8 distinct designs that pay homage to the timeless appeal of Japanese patterns called Wagara. Each piece shares personal narratives and inspirations, reflecting her journey of discovery and appreciation for these cherished motifs.
The Inspiration
Our second collection, Wagara, is a celebration of traditional Japanese patterns infused with my personal memories and inspirations. Wagara means a Japanese pattern or design often seen on kimono and other textiles. My love for color and patterns goes back to my childhood, making origami cranes with Chiyogami. These beautiful Chiyogami sheets came in different colors and patterns. Among them are repeating patterns of Wagara. This was my initial introduction to the world of Wagara, and where my fascination with color and patterns began.

Why use fabric gift wrap?
-
It's reusable
The United States produces 4.6 million pounds of wrapping paper every year, and half of that—approximately 2.3 million pounds—winds up in landfills. If every American family wrapped just 3 presents in reused materials, it would save enough paper to cover 45,000 football fields.

It's functional
Gift a Keiko Furoshiki on its own or wrap another present with one for a 2-in-1 surprise. Once unwrapped, a furoshiki can be used in a variety of every day ways: as table linens, a fashion accessory, or frame it and hang it on a wall. It's the gift that keeps on giving.

It's beautiful
Our furoshiki are lovingly designed by Japanese-American artist Keiko Kira. The playful prints are inspired by her childhood growing up in Japan and invoke the seasonal colors in nature, of cultural celebrations, and the beauty and craftsmanship of everyday items.
