The paisley pattern takes its name from the town of the same name in Scotland, where large quantities of textiles with this pattern were produced in the 19th century. However, it originated in Persia, from where it came to India. It was there that the British discovered it and brought it to Europe. Moismont brought the paisley pattern back to India with this cloth. The fine, hand-printed cloth is made of light, flowing silk. Its edges are hemmed and the Moismont lettering is printed in a matching color.

Behind the label Moismont, based in Picardy, France, are Martine and Jacques de Moismont. With their fashion, the two stand up for authenticity, traditions and values. It is therefore not surprising that in their scarves and stoles, blankets and bags France and India come together: The designs come from Parisian textile designer Adrien Testard, while they are made in a very traditional way in India. After all, the original shawl (which we understand to be worn more like a stole) once found its way from the Indian subcontinent to Europe. And to this day, this shawl culture is very much alive in India: Yarn dyeing, weaving and printing techniques are passed down there from generation to generation - in three carefully distinguished trades, each of which possesses and guards its own unique know-how.
