We are currently working with Cyril's designs looking at producing fabric etc. We came across these Paisley designs in our findings.

Paisley is an ornamental textile design using the boteh (Persian: بته) or buta, a teardrop-shaped motif with a curved upper end. Paisley designs became very popular in the West in the 18th and 19th centuries. More currently It is often seen on men's ties, waistcoats and scarves.

Although the pine cone or almond-like form is of Persian origin, and the textile designs cramming many of them into a rich pattern are originally Indian, the English name for the patterns derives from the town of Paisley, in the west of Scotland, a centre for textiles where paisley designs were produced.
