fun to see that the pictures on the home page are from venice beach. as neat as the folding and pouching is, i’m more impressed with the 1 dress 100 days campaign she did and all the different ways she accessorized one black dress: https://origamei.com/blogs/news this also reminds me of these foldable grocery bags that i still use after many years (was an early customer): https://flipandtumble.com/

Amazing consistency for the 100 days campaign. It’s the sort of thing you say you’re going to do and then it falls off after the 4th day.

Those are some good lookin bags

For a demo, go to https://origamei.com and scroll down to "See how it folds." Very neat idea. I wonder if something like this could work for button-up shirts?

I don't think there is much freedom in placing seams in a button-up shirt, so it is difficult to understand how it would work.

This is an interesting design variant, where the wrinkle-resistant dresses are designed specifically to be folded down into very small packages. So the packaging is integral to the approach. I initially expected something like Issey Miyake, who produced heavily pleated garments that you could stuff in a bag.

^ Miyake was the first thing I thought of when I saw this headline also. The pleated / folded stuff he created in the 90s was pretty neato

There's a lot of freedom in placing seams, as long as you're OK with the resulting look.

In fashion, form and function and not necessarily related :)

If they are wrinkle free, why do you need the origami? Why can't you just smash it into a ball and shove it where it will fit?

Definitely a opportunity there.
