"Pattern Parade 21" Kimono Sampler Panel

This listing is for a single panel of crepe silk picturing the torso and legs of a kimono-clad figure. These were once used by merchants to show the latest designs for the season. This sampler panel has a calm, understated elegance with softly flowing botanical motifs paired with a bold geometric coordinate, creating a look that feels vintage, traditionally Japanese. The haori jacket top features a scattered leaf-and-petal design in dusty blue, cream, and deep charcoal tones, with the drifting arrangement giving the fabric a breezy, wind-swept movement often associated with seasonal change and quiet natural beauty. The kimono lower section contrasts with a rich plum-brown geometric repeat built from linked circular forms and tiny floral accents. Note the numbers printed on one edge that identifies the samples. Originally intended as a fabric showroom sample for kimono makers or textile buyers, this unique panel makes a wonderful display piece for a sewing studio, textile collection, framed wall art, or creative patchwork and craft projects. Last photo shows an example of how it might be displayed on a wall. Signs of age may be present, including light wear, small marks, or subtle variations consistent with vintage textiles.
