There is a long cultural history amongst the people in Sipsong Panna, Lan Xang and Lanna. About two to three hundred years ago, many wars between Siam, Lanna and Burma meant that many Tai Lue and Lao Phuan moved to Phrae. It was through this conflict that the Thai Lue and Phuan brought the indigo dye and the knowledge of how to use it, to Phrae, something that would become a gift to this area. Those living in Phrae also had some knowledge of how to produce the natural indigo dye, and they combined this knowledge with the Thai Lue and Phuan. The Phrae area is rich in natural diversity and the environment supported the locals to be able to apply and use their original knowledge. The farmers named the material Phrae Mahom and they became very famous throughout Thailand.
With the period of the industrial revolution, synthetic colors began to rapidly replace the old natural dye. However, trading in Mohom continued and until this day makes quite a large income for Phrae.
A new era began about six years ago when the Government introduced the OTOP (One Tambon One Product) policy. Phrae promoted the famous Mohom as their main product. Nowadays, there are various kinds from real natural indigo to fully synthetic indigo items.

In 1999 Kaewwanna became involved in the Mohom business in Phrae because of his love of cotton and his desire to market the concept in such a way that would make the real, natural, indigo dye method for producing Mohom, a well known and widespread product which Phrae would be known for. Drawing on the wisdom of many wise people (who wanted to share their wisdom for love not profits) that held the secrets to the processes for making Mahom, he set up the old dye pots three years later. This took three years due to the intricacy and level of attention to detail required to learn these processes. Since then the old processes have continued to be followed producing Mohom the natural way and we are proud to have brought out natural, quality items to the public, especially at this time of global warming.
The charm of natural blue and white has been shown in both woven and light machinery cotton fabrics, some cut in an easy style and serving as a great reminder of a day spent in Phrae.
