The Ritual of Return

Not a reward. A right.

There are hours in a day that belong entirely to you — before the requests arrive, after the work is done. Paisley Affair was made for those hours. Not to be earned. Simply to be entered.

I The First Soft Moment

Before the day asks anything of you. Tea, light, the feeling of cotton that was made slowly, with care.

II The Unhurried Middle

You are allowed to move through this time without agenda. The woman whose name is in your print understood this too.

III The Return to Fullness

You will give more beautifully when you have first given to yourself.

FROM THE WOMEN WHO WEAR IT

LOVE LOVE LOVE!

The colors/pattern, the fit, the texture, everything. I want to buy a set for all my girlfriends! Great gift for yourself or any friend/family any adult age. Perfect for postpartum moms who want to be comfy and feel put together!

Perfect for summer

I needed something to cover up after the shower while doing my make up that is lightweight. This robe fit the bill! Dries fast, pretty, and I feel more comfortable walking around the house while getting ready. Great quality, really love it.

Love Paisley!!

Recently bought a second pair of these lightweight cotton, ultra-comfy pj’s! I love the varied choices of colors and floral patterns. And, these pj’s hold up beautifully after many washings. Highly recommend!

I could live in these pajamas!

My ideal weekend is one where I get to stay in my pajamas as long as possible. No morning plans besides a date with my husband on the deck and a cup of coffee. The fabulous thing about these pajamas is that if I check the mail or say hi to a neighbor, I still look feminine and put together —even though I am in my pajamas!

Great top for everyday wear

Love!

I got these shorts and the matching top. The fabric is the perfect lightweight, soft cotton, and the design is beautiful. You could easily wear these outside the house as well, or mix and match with a plain white tee. I plan on going back and getting the pants as well for even more options. Just get it, you won't regret it!

About Paisley Affair

Good to know

What is hand block printing?

Hand block printing is a centuries-old Indian technique in which artisans carve a design into wooden blocks, dip each block in dye, and press it onto fabric by hand — one impression at a time, one block for each color. Unlike machine printing, every repeat is placed by a person, so the finished cloth carries the small, living variations of the hand that made it.

Where are Paisley Affair pieces made, and who makes them?

Every piece is hand block-printed by artisans in Sanganer, near Jaipur in Rajasthan, India — a town known for its block-printing tradition — and made in small batches. Paisley Affair is a women-owned brand based in Austin, Texas, founded in May 2024.

What fabric do you use?

We use 100% cotton cambric. Cambric is a fine, tightly woven, plain-weave cotton — smooth, lightweight and soft against the skin, with a light drape that gets even softer with every wash. All of our fabric is pre-washed and pre-shrunk before it's made into your piece.

How do the pajamas fit, and what size should I order?

Our pieces come in sizes S to XL and are cut loose and relaxed — made to be lived in, not fitted to. For tops, choose the size you'd normally reach for in a button-down; if you're between sizes, size down. For pants and shorts, your regular size is the right size. See our Fit Guide for measurements.

How do I wash block-printed cotton?

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with like colors. Hand block-printed colors soften gently over a long life of wear and washing — the way a favorite piece should. Washing cold and drying away from harsh sun and high heat will keep them rich for longer.

Where do you ship, and how long does it take?

We currently ship within the United States. Orders typically leave our studio within 2–3 days. Shipping is a $5 flat rate, and complimentary on orders over $100. See all FAQs.
