The Furoshiki-shiki (“Furoshiki style,” apparently) is quite the innovative and colorful vinyl rucksack. Designed to be folded into bag-form or as a wallet, the intially flat, single sheet counts on its slightly adhesive qualities to stay together. Fold the bag however you desire—different folds provide an easy way to manipulate the bag’s opacity, or simply display its contents quickly. The Furo is available in such colors as blue, pink, smoke, milky and citrus, and will run you about $62. There’s also a convenient animation of the usual folding process at Josh Rubin’s freshly redesigned Cool Hunting, so make it job one to stop by there on your way to pick a Furo up for that Japanese exchange student down the street whose name you always forget.
