					<description><![CDATA[The Tai Lue people of Laos have been making indigo dye for centuries. The dye is made from the Indigofera tinctoria plant, which is grown in the mountains of Laos. The leaves of the plant are crushed and fermented to produce a deep blue dye. Tai Lue women have a special relationship with their dye pots, and they take great pride in caring for them.

In keeping with all things natural, Tai Lue cotton is harvested and processed by hand making it ultra soft and luxurious. These large cotton textiles can be used as a shawl, throw, or a runner.

No two bandanas are exactly the same - they are individually hand-stamped using a traditional batik wax resist dye technique creating stunning combinations of traditional Hmong motifs throughout the fabric.

The bandana you receive will closely match the designs displayed however there might be slight variations to the pattern and placement. Please contact us if you have a special request at <a href="mailto:shop@taeclaos.org" target="_blank" rel="noopener">shop@taeclaos.org</a>.
