Paisley Prints

Another pattern that became popular over the summer was paisley. Although paisley patterns are often associated with polyester shirts from the ‘60s and ‘70s, the pattern is now mostly seen on men’s shirts, although this updated version of paisley isn’t printed on polyester but rather breathable cotton. Men’s clothing isn’t the only fashion to get the paisley treatment, and women’s fashion, more recently, has been seen with some paisley patterns. This also includes handbags, clutches, and wallets. In the selection of new products on Best Handbag Wholesale, some new paisley patterned wallets can be seen in lighter and darker colors to fit a number of tastes.

What exactly is a paisley pattern? Some may describe it as “swirly,” which harks back to its psychedelic look of the ‘70s. But no matter the color combination, paisley is essentially a pattern made out of tear-drop shapes. Sometimes, the edges on the tear drops are embellished with ridges, while other times, the embellishment is between the tear drop shapes. In the case of these wallets, smaller shapes or smaller tear drops go between the larger tear drops. Inside, the tear drop shapes are further embellished with smaller shapes and layers of colors.

Unlike plaid, paisley really has no particular format, other than it use tear drop shapes. Colors, similarly, are open to any number of shades and combinations. Paisley men’s shirts of the ‘70s, for example, usually used only one or two colors, typically white and a darker color like red or purple, and these new wallets by Best Handbag Wholesale use at least three colors in the design. Much like the Burberry variation on plaid, paisley takes a number of color variations but still manages to be a familiar pattern. These wallets, in particular, have either warm tones using red, pink, and orange or cooler tones using green and blue to fit a number of style and color tastes.
