As the silk village collapsed, the French fashion designer, Mrs. Rose Morant, fell in love with the Tan Chau Silk and convinced the Tam Lang family to return to the craft. As she showcased the art form of the silk, Vietnamese couture designers began including it in their runway shows and others began making the silk. Yet the Tam Lang family was the only one still creating Tan Chau Silk without chemicals, the traditional way from start to finish.

Founded with a vision to not only support the Tam Lang family, but to restore the economy of the Tan Chau Village.
