Chinoiserie
Chinoiserie patterns literally mean ‘Chinese-esque.’ They are patterns which are Western interpretations of Oriental designs. These can range from anything from replications of Willow patterns to the delicate patterns used on Kimonos. These patterns frequently use many different vivid colours and can be very realistic. They are printed onto the finished piece of fabric after production.
