The Origin and Magic of the Paisley Print
The paisley print is one of the most iconic and recognizable textile designs in the world. With its graceful teardrop motif, it has captured the hearts of many cultures throughout the centuries. But where does the paisley print originally come from and why does Tantilly love it so much in their colorful clothing designs?
The Origin of the Paisley Print
The origins of paisley are deeply rooted in Persian culture.
The design, known as "boteh" or "buta", first appeared in ancient Persia (modern-day Iran) and often symbolized life and infinity due to its organic and flowing form. The motif became especially popular during the Sassanid and Safavid dynasties, where it was widely used in carpets and shah clothing.
The name "paisley" itself, however, comes from the town of Paisley in Scotland, where in the 19th century textile weavers popularized the motif by weaving it in wool, inspired by Indian shawls imported by the British Empire.
Tantilly's Love for Paisley
In the hands of Tantilly's designer Chantal, the rich traditions of paisley print are revived. She embraces this timeless pattern as it unites elegance and history in Tantilly's colorful creations.
Tantilly is known for its love of colour and expressive designs, and the paisley print fits in seamlessly. Paisley prints are especially beautiful to use in Tantilly's dresses and tops. The prints are often a common thread in the clothing collection and give a unique character to mostly dresses, where you can find the paisley print.
Tantilly handmade paisley printed garments are distinctive and guaranteed to attract attention. These Tantilly prints have a magical way of combining vibrancy and elegance, making every woman feel special and unique.
In addition to the many retro prints, animal prints, and artistic prints that you can often find on our retro clothing, the paisley provides a surprising counterpart, because it is often a bit more classic in its appearance, and that is what many customers are looking for in their wardrobe.
In the garments of Tantilly, especially our tops, scarves, dresses, sweaters and pants, you regularly see Paisley prints, often in colorful combinations of colors. We often have surprising prints in this ancient pattern, and often with cheerful, daring colors, this paisley pattern gets a new look.
The Benefits and Feelings of Paisley Prints for Women
Wearing a garment with a paisley print can bring a refreshing sense of elegance and sophistication, while still retaining a touch of playfulness. For many women, it offers a certain timeless charm, a sense of traveling through cultures and eras, without sacrificing freedom of movement and comfort.
The graceful shapes and diverse colours that paisley print often features can enrich an outfit and give it personality. For the wearer, this often means increased self-confidence and the ability to appear both soft and powerful.
The versatility of the paisley print – whether designed in bright, vibrant hues or softer, subtle colours – makes it a perfect addition to the playful, colourful designs that Tantilly is so renowned for.
It fits perfectly with the sustainable and responsible vision that Tantilly carries, because the paisley print often also evokes a worldly effect.
In short, the paisley print combines tradition with modern flair and offers women a world of possibilities to express both their love of history and their unique personality in style. And with the eclectic and handmade approach that Tantilly offers, these garments become true works of art to wear.

Wat leuk om te lezen over de geschiedenis van de paisley print. Vind het alijd erg mooi in kledingstukken en sjaals e.d. hou van de speelsheid ervan terwijl het toch de uitstraling heeft van pure luxe.
