I'm kind of going crazy about these waxed paper brown bag these days... scored from a tiny shop in Kyoto in April. Even thought it "might" look like another brown paper bag, its tactility is quite different! I love how it wrinkles, and folds...
Friends... if you get a package or gift from me in next few months, you might end up with one of these... because frankly... I can't think of anything else to use for packing right now.
p.s. and it looks like you can get them online!
