According to Wikipedia, the origin of this wonderful design is as follows:

"Resembling a twisted teardrop, the fig-shaped paisley is of Persian origin, but its western name derives from the town of Paisley, in West Scotland, a center for textiles where paisley designs were produced.

​

Paisley became identified with psychedelic style due to a resurgence in the pattern's mainstream popularity leading up the mid and late 1960s. Of particular note is the influence of The Beatles. Consequently, the style was particularly popular during the Summer of Love in 1967."
