Paisley print, with its intricate, swirling patterns and rich history, has been a beloved design for centuries. Recognisable by its teardrop or almond-shaped motifs, paisley originated in ancient Persia, where it was known as boteh, symbolizing life and eternity. This unique design made its way to Europe in the 18th century through trade with India, where it had become a popular textile motif. It gained widespread fame when the town of Paisley in Scotland began mass-producing the pattern on shawls, forever linking the print to its namesake.

Over time, paisley has evolved, appearing in fashion, home décor, and even art. In the 1960s, it became a symbol of the counterculture movement, loved for its bold, psychedelic look, and was often seen in the bohemian styles of the time. Today, it continues to offer a vintage yet contemporary aesthetic, blending tradition with modern trends.
