It would be surprising if there were only one. Anyway "cordwainers" made shoes from Cordoban leather aka cordwain. Cambric was a fine white linen made in Cambrai, in Northern France. So I bet there was a cambric trade, just as well as there was a delft trade, a Limoges and a Meissen trade. May 19 05, 7:19 AM

No, there IS a [insert city name] Trade, and it's lurking in the suburbs of my mind. May 19 05, 2:42 PM

I'll admit that I didn't think the possible answers that could be given through but I was referring to a trade that was itself named after the city not what was traded. Rick had the one I was thinking of, namely millinery which took its name from Milan. Flemish's "cordwainers" also sounds reasonable. May 19 05, 6:31 PM
