D-4. While the gift countdown has begun, it's also time to think about how they'll be presented. Here are two ideas for sustainable gift wrapping.
Furoshiki: put on a show with Japanese fabric
Coming straight from the land of the rising sun, where it was once used to wrap the precious possessions of the nobility, it is one of the most ethical methods for wrapping your gifts! Similar to origami, furoshiki is a technique of folding fabric on itself. Generally square or rectangular in shape, its possibilities for knotting, colors, and even patterns are endless, making your gift unique.
Kraft: Use 100% recycled and recyclable paper
Made from water and wood, kraft paper is a material invented in the 19th century. Naturally strong and biodegradable, the paper material allows it to be recycled several times and does not negatively affect the environment if it is thrown into nature because it decomposes in just three months if exposed to light and humidity. It is also one of the best-treated materials in France, along with cardboard. Fabric ribbons, natural ornaments... Let your imagination run wild!
And at Monsieur Paris?
Monsieur has been thinking eco-responsibly from the start, with in-house production and a workshop just a stone's throw from the boutique, which is itself located in the heart of the Marais district, close to the key stakeholders in the successful production of his jewelry—like the gilder. The same awareness goes for his packaging, which the team has designed to be 100% recycled, using cardboard boxes and bags with paper handles. Eventually, you can even turn them into storage boxes.
