paisley patterns
Curved teardrop motifs
Paisley patterns feature distinctive teardrop-shaped motifs with curved, feathery details, originating from designs woven in the Scottish town of Paisley.
The characteristic droplet shape, sometimes called a boteh, appears on fabrics, ties, bandanas, and decorative items: a paisley tie, paisley print sheets.
The pattern is strongly associated with 1960s and 70s fashion.
