Special Notes:

This product is dyed with indigo, resulting in color variations, so the item you receive may not be identical to the sample images. Expect some irregularities in the dye's intensity. Handle with care, as indigo dye can easily fade and transfer color. We recommend hand washing separately. Be cautious when layering with white or light-colored garments, as friction, sweat, and moisture may cause color transfer. Please purchase with this in mind, and consider avoiding if you are sensitive to these characteristics.

Images are for illustrative purposes only; actual patterns and colors may vary. Please allow for slight measurement discrepancies.

About Mo Hom (Thai Indigo Dyeing):

Mo Hom, cherished by the hill tribes of Chiang Mai, Thailand, translates to 'natural indigo dyeing in a jar.' Indigo is valued for its healing properties on cuts and its insect-repelling, antibacterial effects, making it a sought-after material for agricultural workers. The creation of Mo Hom takes considerable time, allowing individuals to enjoy the unique aging process and personal patina of the natural dyes.
