Etymology

The word 'batiste' derives from the French term 'batiste,' which can be traced back to the name of a 14th-century Spanish priest and weaver, Jean Baptiste. The fabric became popular in Europe during the 18th century, specifically in France and Italy, where it was initially woven from linen. Over time, batiste evolved to include cotton as a primary material. This shift was influenced by the Industrial Revolution, which made cotton more accessible and affordable. Batiste's lightweight nature made it a preferred choice for delicate garments, especially in hot climates. Today, batiste fabric is cherished for its fine quality and versatility, used in both fashion and interior design.
