There is no better testament to the wonder and beauty of paisley than to consider the fact that different groups have managed to mutually agree on the splendor of this very special design that traces its origins to Kashmir. Staid Victorian-era English grandmothers were never caught out in public without their fringed paisley shawls; a century later, freewheeling American and European hippies forked over shocking amounts of money for their exceedingly groovy paisley duds--complete with fringe.
No one has ever successfully accounted for the ongoing popularity of the paisley pattern, nor for its ability to transcend profound cultural and philosophical divides and remain current through the ages. Those who study textiles have long noted that paisley's traditional teardrop pattern can create a number of different moods, depending upon the colors used--which explains why wise decorators continue to adorn their daughters' rooms with paisley baby bedding.
