Curated atelier-made heirlooms from Japan for the modern little ones

Typical Monday scene on the playmat.
It’s not easy to be a zero plastic toy mom, but it’s a good idea to curate a few good wooden toys that will last a long long time.

Repurposing paper wraps means giving a second life to the wrapping materials that aren’t deserving of the trash bin yet.
In Japan, we all know how products get wrapped excessively and are mostly thrown out without a thought.

ASOBI wants to change this. So we’re making a small step by giving these wrapping materials a second life while packing your orders. And because these wrapping sleeves are repurposed, every wrapped order is different and unique, just like you.

Reuse and repurpose, one bubble wrap at a time. Notice how much plastics come with our daily store-to-door deliveries? As much as we minimise plastics with our packaging here at ASOBI, we hope to give these used bubble wraps scraps a second life by wiping clean & reusing them in our packaging for items that are more fragile. ♻️
Happy weekend everyone! x
