Whether you love collecting beautiful Japanese stationery or just enjoy thoughtful ways to wrap your gifts, the Hibi Iro series is something you’ll want to see. ✨
What Makes Hibi Iro So Special?
The name “Hibi Iro” means “everyday colors,” and that’s exactly what these envelopes capture. Each design reflects the soft shifts in nature and time—perfect for people who love stationery that feels calm, meaningful, and full of heart.
Two Designs to Match Every Mood
Maruai’s Hibi Iro envelopes come in two lovely styles:
-
Wamon’yō (和紋様) – Elegant Japanese patterns that bring a classic, traditional feel.
-
Sorairo (空色) – Soft watercolor sky tones that remind you of calm days and peaceful skies.
Both designs come in pochibukuro (mini gift envelopes) and noshibukuro (ceremonial envelopes), so you can pick the one that best fits your gift or occasion. 🌸
Designed for Every Occasion
These Japanese gift envelopes are made for any kind of giving. From birthdays and thank-you notes to weddings and small surprises, they add a touch of grace to every moment.
The envelopes have a simple white base and come without printed labels, giving you freedom to use them for both formal and casual occasions. Each pack includes two different patterns, so you can mix and match depending on your mood or the recipient.
It’s a small detail that makes gift-giving feel more personal and thoughtful—because sometimes, the envelope is part of the gift itself. 💝
Made with High-Quality Iyo Washi Paper
True to Maruai stationery’s reputation for craftsmanship, the Hibi Iro series is made from Iyo Washi, a fine Japanese paper known for its soft, luxurious texture. The gentle touch of this washi paper gives the envelopes a high-quality feel that instantly stands out.
To make things even more special, each envelope features foil-stamped noshi ribbons, adding a hint of shine and elegance. The gold accents catch the light beautifully, giving every gift an extra sparkle of joy.
These little design touches make Hibi Iro envelopes not just practical, but also keepsake-worthy—something both givers and receivers will remember.
