Originally from Persia, the British brought the paisley pattern from India to Europe, where it quickly became very popular. It takes its name from the Scottish town of Paisley, which produced large quantities of textiles with the pattern in the 19th century. In a way, Moismont has brought it back to India. The hand-printed fine cloth is made of pure, skin-friendly cotton. 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.
