ORIGIN & HISTORY

About the name

The paisley textile pattern (originally called "pine and cone") took the English name of the Scottish town of Paisley, Renfrewshire, because that town became Europe's leading producer of the pattern's woven shawls between roughly 1800 and 1850, thanks to advances in handloom and Jacquard-loom technology.
