History In 1700, England banned importation (and the use and wear of) of cotton cloth from India, in an effort to prop up the English textile industry. Printed calicos were especially popular among women who were termed the 'Calico Madams'. The ban failed, and was strengthened in 1720 (known as the 'Calico Act', it was repealed in 1774).
