Paisley Elephants

Paisley Elephants

I don't know what it is about paisley, but if you include it in a Lularoe pattern the demand (and thus the price) sky rockets!

Today we're looking at three distinct paisley elephant patterns variously called Paisley Elephants, Mosaic Paisley Elephants, Fancy Paisley Scroll Elephants and sometimes sellers include the word "Tribal" as well.

Fancy Paisley Scroll Elephants


This has been the most popular elephant pattern sold recently with 185 sold listings in the last 90 days. Of those 79 were one size (OS) and 106 tall & curvy (TC)

Tall & Curvy
  • Low - $56
  • High - $122.50
  • Average - $78.35
One Size
  • Low - $57
  • High - $150
  • Average - $84.09
With this style of Paisley Elephant you are definitely seeing OS go for a premium compared to TC. The average Buy It Now sale price was $87, which is right in line with the average price for OS but a little high for TC. If you see a buy it now price for less than the averages listed here, you can feel confident snatching it up. If you are looking for a deal, favor the auction style listings where you can definitely get something in the sixty dollar range if you are patient.

Have one to sell? Try a fixed price of $99 and accept best offers.

Paisley Elephants Pink/Green


This pattern is interesting in that there seems to be very little OS available on the resell market. Out of 67 total sold in the last 90 days, only 9 were OS compared to 58 TC. So we don't have a lot of data to base assumptions on the OS pricing but it's definitely going for a premium compared to TC due to the low number available.

One Size
  • Low - $70
  • High - $99
  • Average - $84
Tall & Curvy
  • Low - $45
  • High - $102.50
  • Average - $67.79
Buy it now prices on TC ranged from $54 all the way up to $100. You can certainly get this pattern in TC for something in the $50-65 range so don't feel the need to over pay for a fixed price listing. Try checking out the auction style listings and set your max bid to $60-65 or start with a $55 best offer to listings that offer that option.

Paisley Elephants Blue


This pattern proved to be the unicorniest of the elephant unicorns. Out of 115 sold listings there  were ZERO tall & curvy. Perhaps this pattern doesn't have TC sizing? If you happen to find one, it's probably a pretty valuable piece of cloth.

One Size
  • Low - $69
  • High - $249
  • Average - $104.11
The average buy it now price on this pattern was $120 and that included our high price outlier of $249; however, there were a handful of lucky folks that got this pattern for $89 on a fixed price listing as well. Many of the auction style listings had a final price north of $100, but with patience you can save yourself about $20 or so by bidding on the auction style listings. Plan to pay somewhere right around $100 to land this unicorn.

Have one to sell? I'd suggest a buy it now price of $150 and accept best offers or set a starting auction price of 99 cents and watch the bids roll in.
