J-4. If 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: make a splash with Japanese fabric
Straight from the land of the rising sun, where it was once used to wrap the precious possessions of nobility, it's one of the most ethical ways to wrap your presents! Similar to origami, furoshiki is a technique of folding fabric onto itself. Generally square or rectangular in shape, the possibilities for knotting, coloring and patterning are endless, making your gift unique.
Kraft: use 100% recycled and recyclable paper
Made from water and wood, kraft is a material invented in the 19th century. Naturally resistant and biodegradable, the paper material can be recycled several times over, and does not adversely affect the environment if discarded in nature, as it decomposes in just three months if exposed to light and humidity. In fact, along with cardboard, it is one of the best-treated materials in France. Fabric ribbons, natural ornaments... let your imagination run wild!
And what about Monsieur Paris ?
Monsieur has been thinking eco-responsibly from the outset, with in-house production and a workshop a stone's throw from the boutique, itself located in the heart of the Marais, close to the stakeholders essential to the successful creation of its jewelry - such as the gilder. The same is true of the packaging, which the team has designed to be 100% recycled, using cardboard boxes and bags with paper handles. Eventually, you'll even be able to turn them into storage boxes.
