This famous drop- or comma-shaped design originates from Kashmir and became an enormously popular motif for decorating clothes and home furnishings during the 19th and 20th centuries. It still is ubiquitous in practically all Indian textile styles and is a frequently recurring design pattern in Western fashion. Paisley Patterns showcases a large selection of this perennial design in its many guises.
