Hello, welcome to eco-wrap
Here at eco-wrap we sell a sustainable alternative to wrapping paper.
Instead of paper we sell beautiful, reusable fabric gift bags that are made by the fair-trade artisans of Purkal Stree Shakti in India.

The UK alone uses up approximately 108 million rolls of wrapping paper each Christmas, and around 50,000 trees are felled each year for wrapping paper around the world.Plus many types of wrapping paper include plastic and can't be recycled.

If you buy an eco-wrap bag (and choose to use it in a way you can have it back, such as with the immediate family) you won't need to buy more wrapping paper each year, so on the long term you could save money!
The bags are also quite beautiful and can really add to any gift. As well as that, they are incredibly simple to use and require no skill whatsoever to wrap!
