The Orient Paisley Shawl Collection

Antique paisley shawls, hand-embroidered on pashmina in the Kashmir Valley. The opulent elegance of the Orient Paisley lives in its swirling tendrils and finespun whorls — the boteh motif that European aristocrats prized in the 19th century, carried home along the Silk Road as a lavish gift. It was a token of devotion then, and remains one now: given to mark something, and kept for years. Each piece is worked by hand over months, and each exists exactly once.
