Saekdong is Korea's rainbow stripe: narrow bands of silk pieced for a child's sleeve, the sequence taken from the five direction colours with green added. These nine carry a five-direction stripe, a rainbow sleeve layout and a fixed sequence band through narrow pieced silk, fixed colour order and varied widths. Ask for a different width arrangement and the same three stripe styles carry it.

Frequently asked questions

What size do these print at?
Each design is drawn as a seamless repeat at A3 proportions with an even margin, so it prints clean at A3 or scales to A4 or a fabric swatch.
Can I ask for different stripe widths?
Yes — the direction field takes any width arrangement you name, keeping the fixed colour order, and the same three stripe styles render it.
What's the difference between the three styles?
The five-direction-stripe style keeps the classic even bands; the rainbow-sleeve style curves the stripes along a garment shape; the fixed-sequence-band style widens some bands and narrows others while the colour order stays fixed.
Is this respectful of real saekdong craft?
The set draws on the Korean pieced-silk rainbow-stripe tradition as a style reference for a generated print, not a reproduction of any specific maker's garment, and not a claim to be hand-pieced textile.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
