sateen

Shiny woven cloth

Sateen is a cotton fabric woven to produce a smooth, lustrous surface resembling satin.

The weave structure floats threads across the surface, creating sheen on one side while the back remains matte.

Sateen appears most often in bedsheets and linings: sateen sheets, a jacket with sateen lining.
