"chintz" Tanımı ve Anlamı

What is "chintz"?

Chintz is a lightweight plain-woven fabric that has a glossy finish on one side and a dull finish on the other. It is usually made from cotton or cotton blends and is often printed with brightly colored floral designs or other patterns. Originally produced in India, chintz was highly prized in Europe in the 17th and 18th centuries, where it was used for clothing, curtains, and upholstery. Modern chintz is often treated with a special resin finish to increase its durability and resistance to stains and water. Due to its bright colors and unique finish, chintz is often used in home decor and fashion to add a pop of color and texture.
