Etymology

The term 'poplin' comes from the French word 'papeline', which referred to a type of fabric originally made in Avignon, France, in the 15th century. The fabric was initially woven from silk and wool, specifically designed for the luxury market. Over the centuries, as fabric production methods improved and the industrial revolution took hold, poplin began to incorporate cotton and synthetic fibers, making it more accessible and versatile for everyday use. Today, poplin is known for its smooth texture and is primarily associated with lightweight cotton fabrics that are commonly used in both fashion and home dรฉcor. Its rich history as a fabric prized by nobility has earned poplin a respected place in the textile industry.
