Let's talk paisley. It's an English term for a design using boteh or buta. It's origin is Persia (sometimes called the Persian pickle) and has been around FOR-EV-ER; we're talking 3 AD! It was popular in the West back in the 18th and 19th centuries.
The paisley pattern resembles a twisted teardrop and a kidney shape and is still popular today. You can see different paisley patterns in different color combos and these stylized designs are trending in all places for the home and fashion. This old design is new again with each generation.
Look at some of my favorite looks:
