What it means: Cross-cultural textile memory and decorative expression, without one fixed meaning.
The curved botanical motif developed in northern Indian shawls and took its English name from imitation production in Paisley, Scotland.
Often chosen for: Curiosity, creativity & wonder
Respectful use: An old motif family does not make every specific design copyright-free. Preserve the contexts of colonial trade and Kashmiri making.
