14 Jan SIX PAISLEY FABRICS THAT TRANSCEND TRENDS
- This ‘Bazaar’ fabric is part of US style icon Iris Apfel’s exuberant debut collection for Fabricut, which draws on Apfel’s own textile collections from around the world. Find it at Christian Lee
- Cabana editor Martina Mondadori has worked with Schumacher on a collection that echoes the “more is more” ethos of the magazine and design brand. This ‘Daria Paisley’, screenprinted by hand on to linen, was inspired by an antique Indian textile from Mondadori’s childhood home. Available at Turnell & Gigon
- ‘Peregrine Paisley’ is a large-scale design printed on to a sumptuous cotton velvet – its maker, Mulberry Home, says that the bohemian design is “reminiscent of a fabulous smoking jacket”
- de Le Cuona is well known for its exceptional quality paisley fabrics, which feel as good as they look. ‘Victoria’, inspired by Queen Victoria’s drawing room, is one of its most intricate designs, using more than 14 colours
- GP & J Baker’s ‘Vintage Paisley’ is a pretty small-scale design printed on 100% linen, part of the brand’s Portobello collection of timeless stripes, paisleys and florals
- ‘Parbat’ is a beautiful embroidered fabric by Pierre Frey that is luxurious in its detail. The French brand delved into its archives for the design, basing it on a 19th-century shawl from South Asia
