Knot Wrap Waste Not, Want Knot

By | Christmas, Green, What's New at Rustan's | No Comments

 The Lush Knot-Wrap is inspired by the Japanese art of Furoshiki, which literally means “cloth for the bath”.    Originating from Japanese culture where it promotes caring for the environment and reducing waste, it started out in the 1600’s when people used it to carry their clothes and toiletries; Knot-Wrap is the eco-friendly wrapping cloth.

Lush are introducing vintage scarves into shops to encourage customers to use them instead of gift-wrap.  At Php375 each, the beautiful scarves are reusable and multipurpose.  Using techniques similar to origami, it can be used for gift-wrapping, grocery shopping or simply as decor.

Each year billions of plastic bags end up as litter and reusable bags, such as Knot Wrap, can help reduce the impact to our environment.  It can also reduce the amount of gift-wrap used this Christmas, as its versatility allows you to wrap almost anything regardless of its shape or size.

Choose from Lush’s selection of bath and body products and then have them wrapped in a beautiful vintage scarf.  It makes a gorgeous gift, but also an easy and eco-friendly way of carrying your Lush products home.  The scarves can then be re-used again and again either as bags, or as fashionable head-scarves / neck-scarves etc.  

The scarves are beautiful, in a selection of colors and designs and bought from various Vintage clothing suppliers, allowing us to reuse existing fabrics rather than manufacturing our own = zero carbon footprint.  So more environmentally friendly and a lot more purse friendly than a Hermes scarf, but just as gorgeous! 

And this year we have introduced our very first Knot Wrap Christmas gift, the adorable Matryoshka (Php995).  Always on the pulse of the latest trends, Lush has taken inspiration from Russia and its iconic doll-within-a-doll and created this cute cosmetic version.  The outer shell is made of a special, limited edition So White soap, and inside you will find two adorable Christmas ballistics, So White and Cinders, both shaped like little Russian Dolls.  They are all wrapped together in a mini Knot Wrap scarf, which makes for a great napkin or hanky.  The perfect packaging free gift.

Great Holiday Expectations

By | Christmas, Green | No Comments

Heart2Heart loves the new shopping bag of Rustan’s department store!!!!!!!!!!!!! This year I am going to make a conscious effort to use these type of bags for wrapping presents.  It is easy to use and people can use it over and over again and recycle and use it.  

Every year I get so guilty throwing away gift wrappers that we just tear when opening gifts.  I even collect all the Rustan gift boxes and I return them to the wrapping counter in the store for them to use again because I feel bad if they would just go to waste.
