A sturdy, printed cotton fabric with a thick weave, often decorated with colorful patterns and used for upholstery or curtains.
Named after the town of Creton in Normandy, France, where the fabric was originally manufactured in the 18th century. The fabric became popular and took on the town's name as its identity.
Cretonne fabric became so famous for being durable that designers still use it for furniture today—the pattern repeats and bold designs made it perfect for 19th-century homes, and you can still find it in vintage and modern interiors!
