Bouquet Wrapping with Leaves

A florist shop in Saigon has just switched plastic package to leaves, called dong, that has drawn the attention of customers, especially, eco-friendly buyers who want to boycott the plastic package. Once reading the use of leaves to wrap flowers on a newspaper, the owner decided to use dong which are leaves to be used to wrap sticky rice cakes. The initiative is to raise awareness of environmental friendliness and meet the expectation of "green" clients.

The leave wrapping, in fact, lowers the cost of flower boutiques less three times than the one of plastic as leaves are cheap. In addition, the bright green of dong enhances the beauty of flowers as you see in the above photo.

Recently, many outlets in Vietnam such as Co.op Mart, Big C and a lot of use leaves to wrap their products that have received many appraisals as well as positive feedbacks of their clients.
