Gingham Plaid's origin story is difficult to pin down due to varying information. Some sources speculate that the fabric now known as gingham may have been made at Guingamp, a town in Brittany, France, and that the fabric may be named after the town. The current equivalent in the French language is the noun ''vichy'', from the town of Vichy in France. Another speculation about gingham's origins is that the name came into English via Dutch. Others stories name Malaysia, India or Indonesia as the origin country where gingham was first made. When originally imported into Europe in the 17th century, gingham was a striped fabric, however, from the mid-18th century, when it was being produced in the mills of Manchester, England, it started to be woven into checked or plaid patterns. Checked gingham became more common over time and remains extremely popular in the textiles industry today. Gingham plaid patterns come in many 2 color combinations and are used to make fabric for clothing, accessories, home decor, linens and more.
