Bright Paisley Habotai Silk Scarf

DESIGNER'S NOTES An exciting Fox & Chave silk habotai scarf in purple and plum tones with green, red, blue and gold aspects. Paisleys are a Persian ornamental motif in origin, first becoming popular in western Europe in the 18th Century. In the 1960s flower power movement, paisleys experienced a dramatic revival in Western fashion, embraced for their swirling, teardrop shapes and exotic origins that resonated with the counterculture's fascination with non Western aesthetics. Imported from India and popularised through psychedelic art and music, paisleys appeared in boldly coloured shirts, dresses, scarves, and bandanas, often rendered in vivid, clashing palettes that mirrored the era's rejection of conservative style. The motif's intricate, flowing lines complemented the bohemian spirit, becoming a visual emblem of personal freedom, cultural fusion, and the era's embrace of expressive, anti establishment ideals. COLOURS STYLING A Fox & Chave habotai silk scarf can be worn with the classic knot style or a pussycat bow. You can even create a shawl effect by knotting two scarves together behind your neck and allowing them to drape over your shoulders.
