Satin used to be only within the reach of royalty in the middle ages in Europe because of its price. It was brought all the way from China. In fact, the Silk Road derives its name from the lucrative trade in silk carried out along its length, beginning in the Han Dynasty (207 BCE–220 CE). So for those who could afford it, it became the sought-after choice for the most formal and important event in a man’s life. 

Satin is a fabric prized for its smooth, buttery-soft texture. The front of the fabric is smooth and glossy, whereas the back dull and matte. This is achieved by a special weaving pattern that overlaps much lesser than a plain or even twill weave.

Satin was originally made by weaving silk fibers. Silk is a natural fabric that consists of animal protein fibers. In the commercial silk industry, silk is usually produced by the mulberry and the Bombyx mori silkworm. Modern satins are made of silk or synthetic microfiber. While silk satin sets the standard and is more expensive, it is more delicate. You should take special care of your satin items, especially silk. 

The term satin originated in the Middle Ages from Zaitun, the Arabic name of the then Chinese port town of Quanzhou. Satin was one of many exotic items traded between China, the Arab World, and Western Europe during the Middle Ages. 

First made available in Italy during the 12th century, it was widely available throughout Europe by the 14th century, though most often just worn by royalty due to its costs.
