Furoshiki wrap for laptops by 9brand

The Furoshiki wrap which is made from urethane, evolved from the traditional Japanese wrapping cloth of the same name (風呂敷, furoshiki). The traditional furoshiki is a sheet of cloth used to wrap and transport all types of goods (wrapping variations). It’s a nice simple idea but I don’t personally see much use in it since there isn’t a good handle or shoulder strap. However, I think it would be useful for protecting a laptop inside a backpack or another larger laptop bag. The Furoshiki will fit laptops up to 15.4” and comes in black and yellow. If you happen to be in Kamakura-city Japan you can visit the 9brand studio and shop; to purchase the Furoshiki in the US you can get it from Tortoise in Venice, CA for $88. ~ Comment on this product.
