The dresses don't appear to be particularly special, aside from the built-in pouch. What makes these "origami-style"? Is it merely that they can be folded? Many companies offer similar dresses in a similar wrinkle-resistant material that can hold up to folding during travel.

They have seams designed for you to fold along - similar to origami. Yeah, there is also a built in pouch to fold the dress into. Some companies have tried similar but I think think the combo is unique.

Strangely, the article doesn't link to the actual product site or have very clear pictures of the product. Here's a link to the site: https://origamei.com

It does link to their site, check the third paragraph! Agree on the image, uploading some clearer ones now

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.

Ah, I guess I missed that, might be nice to get a link in the story header / footer if possible. Sometimes tricky to scan body text for a link.

Cool product / story by the way!

On each product page they have an animated gif of the unfolding/folding. Example:

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/
