Summary
Once a firm favourite of European elites, the handcrafted Indian chintz is a textile of legendary repute. Constant protests from British weavers eventually prompted the British parliament to ban its import. But, it could not make it disappear. What followed next? And how did it decline? Senior textile historian Dr Sarah Fee, senior curator of Royal Ontario Museum joins me, as I discover why chintz is regarded as the cloth that changed the world.
