Does somebody know what's the name of this fabric pattern? In Spanish is Estampado Búlgaro but when I search Bulgarian Pattern on Google Images nothing even similar appear.

It's called "paisley" in English.
Paisley or paisley pattern is an ornamental design using the buta (Persian: بته) or boteh, a teardrop-shaped motif with a curved upper end. Of Persian origin,1 paisley designs became very popular in the West in the 18th and 19th centuries, following imports of post-Mughal Empire versions of the design from India, especially in the form of Kashmir shawls, and were then imitated locally. Although the fig- or almond-like form is of Persian origin, its English name derives from the town of Paisley, in West Scotland, a centre for textiles where paisley designs were produced.

Any idea why the Búlgaro name is in there? There are lots of paisleys out there, are there named subgenera of paisley?– rebusBJul 4, 2018 at 18:25

It might be that Paisley came to England from Bulgaria .. humm, no .. wikipedia says “Paisley or paisley pattern is an ornamental design using the buta (Persian: بته) or boteh, a teardrop-shaped motif with a curved upper end. Of Persian origin,[1] paisley designs became very popular in the West.

this is the paisley pattern, originated in Persia and spreading to India. In Henna (drawing on hands and legs by henna ink), paisley is also a favourite pattern.
