From its ancient Persian and Indian origins with its hidden messages and mysterious symbolism, the iconic motif has had quite a journey.

 

The paisley pattern has travelled the silk routes from East to West, adorned the bandanas of cowboys and bikers, been adopted by the 19th Century boho set, been popularised by The Beatles, ushered in the hippy era and become an emblem of rock ‘n’ roll swagger and swank.

 

The rich symbolism and rebellious aura that surround paisley have kept it alive, and is now the premium pattern of choice for a modern gentleman.
