The swirling teardrop motif we call paisley has a story as rich as its design. It originated in ancient Persia, where it was inspired by the cypress tree — a sacred symbol of eternity and resilience. Stylized into a curved form, the motif captured the image of a tree bending gracefully in the wind. As the design traveled east to India, it evolved into the shape of a mango, a symbol of fertility and abundance.
Later, European weavers — especially in the Scottish town of Paisley — popularized it, giving the pattern its modern name.
Today, paisley remains a timeless expression of artistry: intricate, bold, and unmistakable.
At BeSuited, we select paisley ties and accessories not only for their visual richness but also for the heritage they carry — a design born of nature, refined by history, and worn by gentlemen with confidence.
