This book showcases the wide variety of commercial cosmopolitan practices that arose from the global economic entanglements of the early modern period. It will be important reading for students and scholars working at the intersection of economic, global, and cultural history during this period.

Imported from India, China, the Levant, and Persia and appreciated for their diversity, designs, fast bright colours and fine weave, Asian textiles became so popular in France that in 1686 the state banned their import, consumption and imitation.
