We do love our animal prints. Leopard, tiger, cheetah, giraffe, peacock, cow, snakeskin, alligator, zebra, it doesn’t matter. I’ve always wondered why some patterns make it into textiles and others don’t. At first, when people wore animal skins, it made sense. A person would wear leopard fur, so leopard print cotton was a natural extension of that. But I sincerely doubt anyone wore peacock feathers woven into fabric, so that’s a bit more random.
Other animal texture/patterns I would love to see in textiles:
Feather striations
Butterfly wing
Sharkskin
Turtle shell
Calico
…Suggestions?
