A fabric of multi-colored polyester which has been folded repeatedly at sharp, crisp angles in the manner of the Japanese art of folding paper called origami, and transfer printed in three separate hues (this example in red, green and black). The pleats and color are permanently set with heat. The resulting fabric is three dimensional, showing peaks and valleys when held open, but collapsing into a flat ribbon when released.
