Do you know what is Madras Fabric?
The name is originating from the old city in India and were started to be used back in the 17th century (in 1685) in the Caribbean islands. With the new Black Code then, the slaves gained the right to obtain cloth clothes or 7.52 m of fabrics. Many people of color became couturiers or tailors and invented the Creole fashion, which is the fusion between the Caribbean and European culture, using this gorgeous and very specific fabric (source afroculture.net)
