Chintz Fabric Chintz is a closely woven plain weave cotton fabric with a shiny and lustrous finish. It usually has bright figures of large flower, birds, and other such designs. The fabric is processed with glazed finish to give it a polish look. It is widely used for curtains and upholstery.

Cotton chintz fabric has several types of glaze. Resin finish chintz is a durable glaze. It withstands washing or dry cleaning. The wax and starch glaze washes out. It is produced by friction or glazing calendars. Some chintz also comes in semi-glazed form. Unglazed chintz is known as 'Cretonne'.

The word 'Chintz' has been taken from the Indian word 'Chint', which mean 'broad and gaudily printed fabric'. In the west, it was brought by the British Raj. They imported chintz fabric as early as 1600. It became popular and was imitated there.
