Hohodang Saekdong Apron Set. In autumn 2024, Hohodang presents a new interpretation of saekdong inspired by historical documents. It reinterprets the saekdong that was mounted on the back of a scroll document created when King Yeongjo appointed Queen Jungsoon Kim as the royal consort, bringing together the refined and elegant colors reminiscent of a scholar's neat attire or the cover of antique books holding centuries of history. Saekdong traditionally means connecting colors evenly, and beyond the vibrant hues of first birthday celebrations, it has been used in various precious occasions for its symbolic meaning of warding off misfortune and inviting good fortune. The set consists of a short apron and a small hand pouch, both made from dupioni silk fabric featuring saekdong patterns. The apron is perfect to wear on special occasions when preparing traditional Korean meals, while the accompanying hand pouch can be used both for storing the apron and as an eco-bag for carrying essentials like a phone. It makes an excellent housewarming gift or present for those interested in Korean culture. Options: Green Saekdong / O-Bang-Saek Saekdong
Sourced straight from the official Korean shop. We purchase it on your behalf, receive it at our Seoul hub where we confirm it’s the right item and check the exterior for damage — sealed items stay sealed — then repack it safely for the trip overseas. You can follow every step in your order timeline.
