Here’s how to use our reusable fabric wrap to gift a bottle of wine. (or any bottle-shaped gift for that matter.)
We chose the blue “Give Luck” from our collection for this feature.
Lay the wrap face down.
Tip: The two corners with the “give luck” message should be on either side of you.
Place the wine bottle at the corner closest to you.
Start rolling the wine bottle away from yourself.
Stand the bottle upright.
Take both corners and tie a knot near the top. Spread the knot ends so the “Give Luck” message shows through.
voila! Happy wrapping…
Smallpox, HIV and an ‘Untitled Future Mutation’
E. coli
English artist Luke Jerram makes glass sculptures of the viruses and deadly diseases.
Diagnosed with dichromatic colorblindness at an early age, he became fascinated with mysteries of human perception:
“Where does the visual perception of an object end and the memory of it begin?… If some images are coloured for scientific purposes, and others altered simply for aesthetic reasons, how can a viewer tell the difference? How many people believe viruses are brightly coloured?”

Who would have thought these deadly diseases could be represented in such beautiful forms?

How fun is this lookbook from Koto Bolofo?
Not only is he an iconic fashion photographer, Koto is also a film maker and now has his own line of women’s wear. He was interviewed by Wonderland Magazine here.
Since folks have been asking us for different techniques on wrapping with our reusable fabric wraps, we thought we’d start a new series called “TGIF: It’s a wrap!”. And yes, you got it, we’ll feature a wrapping technique every Friday…
We’ll start with an easy one: wrapping a simple box.
We chose the mustard “Give Luck” from our collection for this feature.
Lay the wrap face down and place the box in the middle.
Take the side with the tag and tuck it around the box.
Take the opposite end and bring over, neatly folding in the edge.
Gather one side and pull towards the middle of the box.
Repeat on other side.
Tie a knot.
Spread the knot ends so the “Give Luck” message shows through. Voila!
