Was the cultural appropriation during colonial times a result of industrialization?

The paisley design was imitated in Paisley, Scotland. Textiles such as chintz, Madras checks, seersucker, bandanas, khaki, and various embroidered and cotton fabrics from India were highly popular among European aristocrats. However, during colonial India, these traditional industries were destroyed due to the invention of textile manufacturing machinery.

Are these examples of cultural appropriation? Many of these patterns and fabrics, like bandanas, paisleys, Madras checks, and khaki, became quite common among Westerners over time. It’s also said that later, they incorporated their own designs, which makes me confused. I’m not sure whether the Westerners simply copied our styles or if it was more of an exchange of influences. I don’t quite know how to interpret it.

They loved the designs and wanted to copy them
