BARBIZON
Barbizon was established in 1933 as a maker of women's rayon lingerie. They were unique in that they also made the fabrics from which their garments were sewn. They specialized in high-quality synthetic blends, which they gave romantic names such as Satin de Lys and Angel Blendaire. Barbizon was sold to the VF Corporation (Vanity Fair) in 1991.
Because Barbizon had the names of the fabrics trademarked, there is a record of each's first use with the US Patent and Trademark Office. For example:
Satin de Lys - 1959
Zephaire Batiste - 1955
Tafredda - 1954
Feathaire - 1956
Blendaire - 1954
Satin Seraphim - 1937
Crepe Remarque - 1954
