This traditional craft, passed down for thousands of years by the Tai Lue and Pu Tai ethnic groups, combines indigo dye with pure natural cotton threads to create fabric. https://cdn.store-assets.com/s/288074/f/15978987.png https://cdn.store-assets.com/s/288074/f/15980643.png https://cdn.store-assets.com/s/288074/f/15979008.png Historical Japanese texts suggest indigo dyeing possessed "medicinal" properties.
