When maritime trade prevailed in the18th century, cashew flowers (bandannas) were finally brought to European countries. It was in this transportation process that a fashionable sailor cut a small piece of it and tied it on his arm as a handkerchief, which made this element immediately popular in the maritime world at that time until it was widely spread to the European continent and then developed into various uses and color matching.
? Development of cashew flower
However, the classic pattern of cashew nuts (bandana) did not continue its oriental color from the beginning, but spread all over Europe through the name of the Scottish town "Paisley". Because when cashew flowers (bandannas) were introduced to Europe, Indian-made fabrics were in short supply immediately. In this case, in order to meet the needs of more people, various foundries, large and small, began to appear in Europe to produce cashew flowers, among which the most sought-after goods came from the Scottish town of Paisley. Subsequently, people in the market began to directly refer to this classic pattern of cashew flowers as "Paisley".
In fact, any classic item is a classic because of the rise of a group, and so is cashew flower (bandana). From the beginning, it was widely circulated among sailors, and then it successfully conquered European countries, and then it gradually evolved into the traditional modeling of American workers. Just during World War II, there was an American female riveter named "Rosie". She always likes to wear a red headscarf and a tough uniform at work. This subversive dress suddenly made people shine at that time, and countless other American women workers began to follow suit, thus creating a new trend of American women's tooling.
The gang life of cashew flower
It's finally time to get to the point. By the mid-1980s, the cashew flower (bandanna) was no longer the image of hardworking female workers, and gradually became synonymous with street, hip-hop and black gangs in the United States. During the rapid expansion of black gangs on the west coast of the United States, cashew flower square towels with different colors began to become one of the symbols used to distinguish gangs. The most famous of these gangs are Criz and Bradz. They use blue and red cashew flower patterns as their representative flags respectively. It is because of the hip-hop stars who came out of these two gangs that the red and blue cashew patterns were known to more young people all over the world and eventually left a deep impression on them in the fashion circle.
However, perhaps many young people still don't understand that in LA at that time, if you casually wear the wrong color of cashews, you will probably lose your life. Because, in the1970s, young blacks who grew up in slums formed various gangs to protect themselves and seek wealth. Cripz was the best at that time. They constantly annexed other small gangs, expanded their territory and monopolized one side. But there are always exceptions. At this time, other hard bones appeared to resist Cripz's aggression. They joined hands to form their own new force, which later became Bloodz (Blood Gang). Seeing Criz wearing a blue cashew flower headscarf, Bradz deliberately used a red cashew flower pattern to represent his opposition. Anyway, it is necessary to fight Criz to the end.

I couldn't stop the Visvim Spotitem Brigitter Boots at that time, and it cost about 8000 RMB.
And of course, your supreme love.
If you are a senior Supreme fan, when you talk about Supreme and cashew pattern, you will immediately think of Supreme x The North Face co-branded series released on 20 14. It is the application of cashew pattern in this season's design that makes this series of jackets one of the most classic items in Supreme co-branded history. ↓

Rude who made a fortune by cashew pattern
When it comes to cashew pattern as a symbol and an impressive brand, the first thing that comes to my mind is RHUDE:
In 20 13, Rhuigi Villasenor officially established the brand "RHUDE", which correctly sounded the pulse of the trend in the first year of its birth. At that time, large areas of eye-catching printed and plastic printed clothing could be seen everywhere in the streets and photos. This brand, which was born on the west coast, covered the T-shirt with Paisley pattern, which was once the representative of local gangster culture, and successfully captured the hearts of a group of street youths.
Bieber is using it.
However, after harvesting the first bucket of gold, Rude did not continue this style, but disappeared like disappearing into the air!
Why does a brand that is about to take advantage of the situation suddenly retreat? Complex once described Luigi Villasenor as a "rebel". However, this kind of follow-up printed clothing doesn't seem to be what he really likes. It is more like a marketing tool than an expression of design ideas, which won Luigi Villasenor a reputation and laid a solid economic foundation for his future design.
It is said that it has disappeared, but it is not. After several years of fame, RHUDE still launched products every season, and there was still star support during the period, but it was obviously not the same as its previous popularity. Luigi Villasenor seems to be concentrating on training, trying to find a design that can perfectly express his ideas.
Then, Rude's "Nirvana" began.
