Painting a Paisley Picture

Bohemian chic is set to be a strong player in this year’s fashion stakes, especially with the revival of the 70s vibe. The paisley print has quite a worldly history, (who can forget John Lennon’s custom painted paisley Rolls Royce!) which serves its surging popularity. Originating in Persia and inspired by the patterns in pine cones, paisley prints are a gorgeous way to incorporate an ethnic feel to your look that combines both pattern and colour.

Paisley is such a classic print. In addition to the fact that it has literally been around forever, it manages to combine ladylike sophistication and fun all in one. It's a print that everyone can wear, regardless of their figure of frame. Just look at the catwalk and you will see its versatility, Burberry is using paisley scarf to accent their looks while Gucci is going bold with sheer paisley blouses teamed with killer skinny-trousers.

For those of us without the designer budget, look for paisley kaftans, scarves, dresses and bags which are all great additions to your wardrobe. If you want to make your paisley piece last longer, look for a subdued hue as they will transition well into summer and beyond. The ISOKI Retro Paisley Hobo Bag is a fabulous example of this. This great paisley pattern in black and neutrals hits a fashionable home run. Its paisley pattern is on point with current trends and its practicality makes it the perfect nappy bag!
