You gotta give it to Seattle—when it comes to eco style, we are the leaders of the pack. A new, local company is doing something great for giftwrap: making is chic and sustainable. Persimmon and Pine founders Mandy Behrens and Julie Lyderson-Jackson were inspired by Japanese Furoshiki, the centuries-old practice of using a folded cloth (called a furoshiki) for practical and ornamental applications. Their Savvywrap is made from materials like hemp, silk charmeuse, soy and organic muslin blends, and can be washed and re-used. A portion of their profits go to benefit various local and global charities. Do something different—and eco-friendly—the next time you give a gift!
Prices range from $30-$32, and can be purchased through the company’s etsy shop.

Stacy — Thank you for helping spread the word about the artistry and sustainability of furoshiki! We are very excited about the eco qualities of this time-honored Japanese tradition. We hope your readers are just as excited about the bona-fide sustainable crop textiles and eco-embellishments we’ve deliberately “woven” into each of our designs. Sustainable living is what we’re all about. Cheers!
