Bandana Paisley Poly Shorts, Persian Boteh Print, Boho Unisex Shorts

The paisley at the heart of every bandana began as the Persian boteh — a teardrop possibly representing a cypress tree or a sacred flame, carried from Kashmir to Scotland to the American frontier. This design honors a pattern that has gathered meaning across continents and centuries without ever losing its line.

Real art with a story worth telling — a piece with genuine roots, never a soulless stock graphic.

WHY POLY
This poly-blend piece trades cotton's natural feel for four-way stretch, UPF 50+ sun protection, and a smooth, lightweight microfiber hand — built for movement, for anyone who wants a little more give in their wearable art.

Original wearable art — made to be lived in, not just looked at.
