Talk:Chintz

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Quality of the fabric

Chintz was relatively inexpensive and therefore very popular in the 19th and early 20th centuries, which I believe is where the term "chintzy" came from: cheap, poor-quality, "common" in a snobby, derogatory sense. Wspencer11 13:48, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
