Lisa’s Gone Shopping Description Centuries ago, before paper or plastic, Japanese merchants used woven fabrics to artfully wrap items. This art of Furoshiki is the inspiration for Lisa's Gone Shopping Furoshiki Fabric, Cross Body Bags. Each bag is created from a whole square of 100% cotton fabric, folded, knotted, fluffed and presented as a unique alternative to unattractive plastic grocery bags. The Cross-body style, a Lisa’s Gone Shopping exclusive, uses the classic Furoshiki drop bag with a hand-knotted obi or strap. Each Furoshiki fabric square is hand crafted from fabrics from around the world. Since my bags do not have sewn seams, they are very strong. The bag itself is based on a triangle of fabric, utilizing the strength of the weave "on the bias." The bags are washable, reusable and lightweight. I will re-tie any bag after it is washed, if necessary! My card with my name, number and email is included with each creation.
