First #paisley affirmation post of 2024.
As there hasn’t proven to be enough new paisley content to keep up weekly posts, I’ll be making it a monthly affirmation for 2024, and may bring back some of my earlier posts that back in the timeline.
In Black History Month, I thought it appropriate to start by amplifying again this V&A #decolonization perspective on the poplar #motif, and its efforts to reframe its collection.
“The Paisley pattern
Before: The designs “proved so successful that their characteristic teardrop or pine cone pattern became known around the world as ‘Paisley’.”
Now: “Paisley shawls became so successful that their characteristic mango, teardrop or pinecone shaped motif, known in Kashmir and Persia as buta, became known in the west as the ‘Paisley pattern’.””
