The folds in the oriental fan give it a texture that is very similar to the folds that are in this dress. The long, straight folds in both create a texture of alternating heights in surfaces which feel bumpy to touch. Both the fan and the dress are made of paper which also gives the two a smooth finish, apart from the surface folds.
The Hermes Bag pictured above is made of crocodile skin. Therefore, the two are almost identical in texture. They both have square sectioned bumps, like the crocodile's skin. The purse is shinier than the crocodile's skin because it has been treated with a finish in order to lend a more polished appearance to the handbag.
The texture of the stiletto shoe was inspired by the texture of a snake's skin. Both are smooth, with small bumps in them. Designers often are inspired by elements found in nature!
