Indienne is a type of cotton fabric that originated in India and became popular in Europe during the 17th and 18th centuries. It is known for its vibrant colors and intricate patterns, often featuring floral or paisley designs. The fabric was typically produced using a technique called block printing, where wooden blocks were used to stamp designs onto the cloth. The term "Indienne" also refers to the style of printed textiles that were inspired by Indian designs. These textiles were highly sought after in European markets, leading to the establishment of a thriving trade between India and Europe. Indienne fabrics played a significant role in the fashion of the time, influencing clothing and home decor.
