BANDANA PAISLEY PRINT

CONTENT - 100% Cotton

WEIGHT - 2.65oz

ORIGIN - Japan

Our paisley is sourced from a Japanese mill steeped in history and founded in 1751, with its origin rooted in the Kimono garments business. The Paisley Pattern can be traced back to the Indo-European cultures of 2,000 and more years ago. In Britain the pattern is represented in Celtic art, which died out in Europe under the influence of the Roman Empire. It wasn’t until the 19th century when the print gained its modern name, paisley. The Scottish town of Paisley became the leading producer of the Kashmir-inspired shawls, and therefore the buto print became known as paisley. Contrary to common belief, the design didn’t originate in Scotland – though, if you were to visit the town you won’t be surprised to see that the shops and cafes are heavily draped in paisley.

PRINTED ACTIVEWEAR

CONTENT - 50% PA/ 50% PES

WEIGHT - 5.5oz

ORIGIN - Portugal

Dry handle and surface texture, the design details and ultralight, quick-drying Portguese nylon of our Pease shorts are made for water-based activities.

This season, we used prints that are subtle enough to look great both for everydaywear, as well as in the water.
