Beach Days with a Japanese Twist

Furoshiki Meets the Sun in the Shinra Collection

There’s a quiet elegance in Japanese culture that transforms even the simplest fabric into something deeply purposeful. At the heart of this philosophy is the furoshiki—a square cloth traditionally used for wrapping and carrying. But today, we're bringing it from the streets of Kyoto to the golden shores of your favorite beach.

A Versatile Beach Companion

In the image above, you see our Shinra Collection furoshiki taking on new life. It’s not just a beach mat or a wrap—it's a statement of sustainable, multifunctional living. Tied around the waist, it becomes a breezy sarong. Laid flat, it’s a chic and functional space to relax. And when you're ready to go, it folds into a stylish carry-all. That’s the beauty of furoshiki—it adapts to your needs, with effortless grace.

Cotton: Gentle for Sun-Kissed Skin

The 100% breathable cotton used in our Shinra furoshiki isn't just a style choice—it’s a sensory one. After a swim or while basking in the sun, cotton offers a soft, natural touch that soothes the skin. Unlike synthetic fabrics, cotton breathes with you, making it the perfect companion for long beach days or tropical adventures.

Shinra: Inspired by Nature, Ready for Fun

The Shinra design—bold, graphic leaves in a harmony of indigo and green—takes inspiration from the lush vibrance of Japanese forests. It’s this same lush energy that makes it a perfect match for Hula, Luau celebrations, and carefree days under the sun. Whether you're dancing barefoot in the sand or lounging with a beachside cocktail, Shinra brings a pop of refined playfulness.

From Tradition to Trend

Bringing furoshiki to the beach isn’t just about fashion—it’s about redefining how we use the objects around us. Why carry a heavy beach bag when your furoshiki can do it all? Wrap, carry, shade, sit—one cloth, infinite possibilities. And at the end of the day, it folds up into your beach tote, leaving zero waste and endless style.
