But what is that all about? And why are we seeing celebrities like Kobe Bryant wearing paisley neckties so often? Hopefully, this article will shed some light on the answer to that question. The outstanding design of this piece of neckwear comes from the paisley pattern. Its origins can be traced back to South and Central Asia, although the name "paisley" comes from a very different place. In fact, Paisley is the name of a town in Scotland. The exact origin of this intriguing pattern is unknown, but the design was brought to much of Europe by merchants in the 17th century and it has enjoyed huge popularity ever since. It was soon brought to Scotland and local manufacturers from Paisley started to produce paisley men's ties in huge quantities in the first half of the 19th century, so that is where the association comes from. Nevertheless, even producers from Paisley could not match the original manufacturers and could offer only about fifteen different colors or patterns.paisley neckties]]> paisley tie]]> paisly neckwear]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/-The-Significance-Of-Paisley-Ties/3610154 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 18:53:21 -0500 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/-The-Significance-Of-Paisley-Ties/3610154
