Hello friend!

When the Portuguese first came to India, they landed in Calicut, and the cotton textiles that they took along with them to Europe came to be called calico. Chintz, a printed cotton cloth, is a term that is derived from the Hindi word chhint – a cloth with small and colourful flowery designs.

The Portuguese carries pintados ( painted cotton) east from india to trade for spices. Indian textiles were more important to the Dutch and others.
