2. Head Accessory

Shiki Wrap can be rolled up and turned into a cute headband, perfect for keeping your hair out of your face or catching sweat during an intense yoga class. Use it as a headscarf on your no-hair-wash days to still look put-together. You can also use our smaller Shiki Wraps as a hair tie if you roll it up tightly. There are countless ideas for using our furoshiki fabric to create an attractive head accessory and hairstyle.

3. Neck Scarf

Shiki Wrap is a wonderful fabric for a neck scarf because it feels comfortable against your skin. With our gorgeous colors and patterns, a Shiki Wrap scarf is almost as stylish as a Hermés scarf, but ours are good for the planet. Tie the scarf snugly around your neck for a high-class Parisian vibe, or keep it tied loosely for a summer-on-Martha's-Vineyard aesthetic. It's a simple hack to elevate any outfit. Our most playful designs are beloved by kids, who often take our fabric wraps to their dress-up chest.

4. Bag Scarf 

A bag scarf is a luxurious and chic accessory, giving your purse extra flair and adding a pop of color to your outfit. We love mixing and matching our favorite Shiki Wrap patterns and colors with all our bags, creating bold and endearing looks that suit our mood for the day. And when you tie a Shiki Wrap to your bag, it will always be there if you suddenly need a second tote bag, a headband, or a spontaneous picnic blanket. 

5. Belt

In a pinch, we've used our medium and large Shiki Wraps to secure our pants. Not only is this use functional, making our bottoms more comfortable, but it's also a fashionable trick to improve your outfit. Our Shiki Wrap prints and colors are more attractive than a plain black or brown outfit, making your look unique and beautiful. 

6. Beach Cover-Up

The larger furoshiki fabric wraps can easily stretch around your body. Wrap one around your torso as a comfortable tube top. You could also hug it around your shoulders to create a colorful shawl. If you want to cover your bottoms, it effortlessly fits around your waist to make a small skirt. This is another phenomenal reason to keep Shiki Wrap in your car, so you have a cover-up for any unplanned beach trips.

7. Picnic Blanket

The larger Shiki Wrap fabrics can be a last-minute picnic blanket, allowing you to have a picturesque outdoor snack. You can set up a random picnic anywhere if you keep Shiki Wrap in your bag or car. Best of all, the Shiki Wrap doubles as a tote bag to carry all your picnic supplies. When you arrive at your destination, simply untie the tote bag, and your picnic is ready to enjoy. 

8. Napkin

Our furoshiki wraps are durable and machine-washable. Use them as your picnic blanket, napkins, and bag, and toss them in the laundry when you get home. Their durability makes them more versatile than most people imagine, so don't be afraid to use them for anything and everything. They can even be shaped for special occasions like this cute heart-shaped wrap crafted from our 18" Small Red Shiki Wrap.

9. Home Decor

Talented artists design our patterns and prints — each wrap is a piece of artwork, so why not display it like one? Frame it and hang it on the wall, place it over a bright lamp for a moodier vibe, or arrange it beneath a coffee table book. Wrap it around a flower vase to make the bouquet pop even more. When you're not using it to gift wrap, it can be a lovely element that gives your home a lavish and ornate aesthetic. Learn more about the history of the Japanese tradition of furoshiki here.

It will protect your books from scuff, scratches, and wear and tear. Or you can use it to give your bookshelves a more interesting and soft appearance. 

11. Home or Travel Organization

Wrap up delicate clothing items and store them safely in dresser drawers, ensuring they won't get mixed up with other clothes. The wraps can also be a brilliant method for keeping your luggage organized. Use them to keep small items neat, or bring one on vacation so you can wrap up dirty laundry on your way home.
