Cotton and silk textiles had a huge market in Europe. Indian textiles were by far the most
popular, both for their fine quality and exquisite craftsmanship. Different varieties of Indian
textiles were sold in the Western markets; for example, chintz, cossaes or khassa, bandanna
and jamdani. From the 1680s, there started a craze for printed Indian cotton textiles in England
and Europe, mainly for their exquisite floral designs, fine texture and relative cheapness.
