Paisley.
- 5 Sep 2018
I love paisley on all sorts of levels. It’s a curious thing.
The basic motif or buteh comes from Persia but the name comes from Scotland.
The poshest goods have it as a pattern and yet it’s often been used as a symbol of decadence and rebellion by everyone from Oscar Wilde to John Lennon, who had his Rolls Royce painted in bright yellow and paisley.
