One design that has become synonymous with de Le Cuona is paisley. Both delicate and refined this woven cloth has never been more beautiful or in vogue. The delicate paisleys are either coloured traditionally or are surprisingly contemporary, making them easily incorporated into any room setting. The paisleys afford their beautiful drape thanks to the time worn technique of hand washing the fine woven wool which also helps achieve the depth of colour and the rich softness.
