little kimono

Have you seen the little kimono dresses in a catalog called Tea. I've never ordered from them, but I've gotten a few catalogs in the mail, and I love everything about their clothes for boys and girls, the soft simple girl's kimono dresses, the indigo japanese prints, the robot motifs, and the Mt. Fuji graphics. The cover of their holiday collection features a girl holding a simple fabric wrapped bundle, and the inside cover says, " We love the traditional Japanese practice of furoshiki--the artful wrapping of specia gifts in large, beautiful swaths of cloth. This holiday eason, we're honored to share our Shinto Traditions collection, inspired by our visits to Japan. and to wrap things up in style, we're also introducing our own distinctive furoshiki gift wrapping."

I want to wrap gifts this way. The gift wrap from Tea contains a card suggesting ways to reuse your furoshiki.

Nice.
