European Paisley Embroidered Cotton Scarf
An art scarf inspired by The Met collection.
The timeless pattern embroidered on our cotton scarf references the decoration on a wool shawl made in Europe around 1825–30. Now in The Costume Institute at The Met, the original textile features the stylized teardrop motif known as paisley after the Scottish town that manufactured such shawls to great popularity until the 1870s. These machine-made shawls were more affordable alternatives to the costly, hand-woven Kashmiri textiles essential to the wardrobes of stylish 19th-century European women.
