The soft, luxurious touch of Mufti peached poplin shirt is complimented by its heritage in being the erstwhile go-to fabric of the highest authority in the medieval western world – the Vatican. The fabric first came to use in 14th century France, in the city of Avignon, which was home to the papal residence during the period. What was then called papelino, French for the papal dressing, has today evolved to be the poplin. A perfect blend of durability, comfort and elegance, the poplin fabric has served a wide range of purposes throughout its history – from a staple for home upholstery to military uniforms during World War II.
