I'm Pun Musu. I was born in the Northern Thai province of Phayao in 1961. My childhood was quite difficult. We lived in the country with no water supply or electricity. I studied in our small village school until fourth grade, then became a rice farmer, gardener and was self employed for more than thirty years before I moved to Chiang Mai in 2013.

I moved to live with my grandchild, who introduced me to the art of dyeing cloth. I started to learn because I had free time and wanted to help my grandchild. I also took some workshops on the process of indigo dyeing to expand my knowledge.

"I use 100 percent cotton fabric which I buy from the market. I wash and iron it, then make my pattern by folding the cloth, tying and dyeing it with natural indigo. I carefully do each process by myself with the help of my grandchild, using only natural materials.

"In addition, I offer workshops for anyone who is interest in indigo dye to try it as a hobby.

"My inspiration comes from the natural environment and the patterns in nature. I try to make simple designs to let you feel cool and calm, not complicated, but beautiful.

"Today, I have one son and no husband. I still live with my grandchild and continue working in my textile arts. Besides the indigo-dyed apparel, I also make moon cakes to sell.

"My long-term goal is to continue selling my casual clothing designs as long as I can. I want this project to be my career to make a better living. I'm proud of every piece I create because I do it with my heart."

NOVICA was started with a dream to create a better world for artisans, because a better world for artisans is a better world for all.

Along the way, the founders of NOVICA discovered something very important - as artisans around the world succeeded, there was also a visible and profound impact on the communities around them.

Your purchases are that powerful. They directly and indirectly provide for education, help with health care, fund basic needs, support children, preserve disappearing arts, and of course, spread happiness around the world.

The founders of NOVICA had a vision of the future that is not one of mega factories producing cookie cutter products for all to cheaply consume. Instead, a bright future that celebrates artisans who take the time to create an item by hand. A future where time is protected, where stories are told, where unique details are honored. Love, respect, inclusiveness become driving force.
