The oldest pattern still in fashion.
The boteh appeared in Persian textiles more than a thousand years before it reached Europe and became paisley. The Halo Edition keeps it pale, so the shape is read through texture and light rather than through contrast.
Light instead of colour
The palette is deliberately narrow. Bone, ivory, a thread of gold. In low light the upper looks almost plain, and it only opens up when the light moves across it. That restraint is the whole point of this edition.
Silk-touch upper
The fabric is woven to take print at high resolution and finished with a soft sheen, so the fine internal linework of each boteh survives instead of blurring into a smudge.
Assembled one pair at a time
Cut, lasted and bonded by hand. Small runs mean small inconsistencies, and we would rather have those than the flatness of a fully automated line.
Final run. This design was produced in a single limited batch and will not be reprinted. Once a size sells out it is gone for good.
