In 17th century Tbilisi, Tatris Moedani traders sold imported satin and brocade from the Far East, along with white flax and cotton fabrics. The main buyers of these products were the Lalikhana (dyers) shop owners, and they became the very same materials used by Lalikhana dyers to produce the famous blue tablecloths that would become a feature of every table in a Tbilisi home — and eventually the homes of all Georgians.
