Etymology
The term 'grosgrain' comes from the French word 'gros grain' which means 'large grain'. The fabric dates back to the 19th century and was originally created to allow a heavier texture while maintaining the appearance of silk. The invention of synthetic fibers in the 20th century made grosgrain more widely available and affordable, leading to its increased use in the fashion and textile industries. Grosgrain's distinctive ribbed pattern is created through a weaving process that results in a sturdy fabric that holds its shape well, making it an ideal choice for many applications.
