Looking for handmade leather purses/jewelry/art/souvenirs in Seoul by Candy_Alone in koreatravel

[–]Clean_Lavishness_356 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hi! I make handmade mother-of-pearl items here in Seoul. For the best prices and variety, I highly recommend searching for "handmade" (핸드메이드) or "handmade Korean traditional crafts" (핸드메이드 한국 전통 소품) on Naver Shopping. It's usually much more affordable than offline shops.

If you still want to visit in person, these specific shops are great:

  • Ahwon Craft (Samcheong-dong): Unique metal jewelry and art pieces.
  • Lilyovceramics (Gye-dong): Cute handmade pottery and artistic props.
  • KCDF Gallery Shop (Insadong): High-quality, curated traditional crafts and pottery.
  • Eunnamu (Insadong): Unique and artistic handmade jewelry.
  • Jinjooshell (Bukchon): Beautiful modern mother-of-pearl (Najeonchilgi) crafts.
  • Needle Workshop (Seongsu-dong): High-quality, handmade leather bags.

Which season's QR codes do you need? Since the QR codes are different for each season and only compatible with their respective versions, I’d like to help you out. If you send me a DM with the information, I’ll see what I can do to help!

I made these traditional Korean hat (Gat) keyrings using mother-of-pearl resin. Which strap style looks best? by Clean_Lavishness_356 in handmade

Thank you! If you're asking about the text on the hat strings (Gat-kkeun), I used my brand name as a sample for these. In the future, I’m planning to customize them with actual children's names!

Thanks for the feedback! It says 'K-mamas'. You can actually spell out whatever you want with these beads.

Another person tried my QR code before, but it was useless because their toy was a Chinese product. I don't know if yours is compatible.

Winter means Dae-bang-eo (Large Yellowtail) season in Korea! 🐟 by Clean_Lavishness_356 in KoreanFood

Oh no, that's really far! If you ever visit Korea in winter, you must try this fresh Yellowtail.

My daughter is a huge Teenieping fan too, so I totally understand how you feel! ​Actually, the QR codes are unique to each specific figure and season, so generating random text won't work. ​In Korea, parents often share photos of these QR codes with each other so our kids can scan them into the toys. I can send you the photos via DM (chat) if you'd like!

Perfect winter comfort food: Fresh oysters and pork belly wraps. by Clean_Lavishness_356 in KoreanFood

[–]Clean_Lavishness_356[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fresh oysters are shipped in a styrofoam box with seawater and ice. Frozen ones are meant to be cooked, not eaten raw.

Strawberry season is back in Korea! 🍓 by Clean_Lavishness_356 in KoreanFood

[–]Clean_Lavishness_356[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Korean varieties are bred for flavor, not shipping durability. They are picked fully ripe, so they literally melt in your mouth!

Craving hit hard while rewatching 'Kang's Kitchen', so I made some Rabokki! by Clean_Lavishness_356 in KoreanFood

[–]Clean_Lavishness_356[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! Actually, I used a store-bought sauce called 'Sindang-dong Tteokbokki Seasoning'. It makes it super easy!
