Natural Ramie Fiber Textile Sample Collection

1990s · 1980s-1990s · Korean

Four stacked textile samples showcasing ramie fiber in various weave structures and natural colorations. The top sample displays a checkered or plaid pattern in cream and beige tones. The middle two samples feature fine ribbed or corded textures with subtle striping, demonstrating ramie's characteristic crisp hand and lustrous surface. The bottom sample shows a plain weave construction in natural undyed ramie color. Each sample is folded to display the fabric's drape and weight characteristics. Ramie, a bast fiber from the nettle family, produces textiles with linen-like properties but greater strength and durability, commonly used in Korean traditional and contemporary textile production.
