Provençal fabrics - or indiennes - were first produced throughout France during the seventeenth century following the methods and designs of the imported fabrics from India. In 1686 the Royalty stopped the importation of the Indian fabric but, because Provence was not on royal land, production continued here and grew over the next two hundred years, with factories in Orange, Avignon, Tarascon and Aix.
These fabrics, which originally served as women's shawls, and are now mostly used for interior decoration, are brilliantly multi-colored prints in kaleidoscopic floral and geometric patterns. Originally the dyes were obtained from natural materials and each color in a design was applied with separate woodblock impressions.
There are a number of companies based in Provence that continue the tradition of fabric making - including Ensoleillade and Marat d'Avignon who supply fabric products to the highest quality. But beware of imitations - there are products out there that are made elsewhere in France, and even in China! Basically, if the fabric seems extremely cheap, the likelihood is that it's not the genuine article. You should expect to pay a reasonable amount for authentic quality provencal fabrics - but it's worth it in the long run.
The fabulous thing about provencal fabrics is that they're so versatile. They can be made into colorful and stylish clothing items such as shirts and skirts. (Many manufacturers produce cute girls' dresses that make wonderful gifts to take home.) The fabrics are ideal for bags of various shapes and sizes. And, or course, they brighten up the kitchen or dining room as tablecloths or place mats bringing the colors of Provence into the home.
