Chaehwa (彩花) refers to flowers made from silk. This is a court tradition that originated from the hearts of ancient people who wanted to express nature's beauty without plucking actual flowers. It is a cherished tradition that honors nature by decorating special occasions with silk flowers, rice-cake flowers, and paper flowers. Hohodang presents chaehwa products each season, reviving this tradition with a contemporary sensibility. The layered bellflower introduced as an autumn chaehwa is a flower that blooms abundantly in early autumn before its roots are harvested for vegetable dishes, marking the arrival of the season. True to its name, the petals overlap in layers, and its flower language is "eternal love." Hohodang's chaehwa is crafted from eco-friendly recycled fabric. The process of transformed fabric—reborn from discarded plastic—blooming into a single flower itself aligns with chaehwa's inherent spirit of "causing no harm to nature." We have used both lustrous plain-weave silk and subtle gauze fabric together to express the lush texture of the layered petals. The brooch features a metal pin attachment, allowing you to wear it on a collar or bag for everyday treasuring. It can also be used as an accent decoration on traditional wrapping cloths.
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.
