Long before Western-style bags were introuced, Koreans used square cloth made from left over fabric, called bojagi to wrap, store, and carry items. The beauty of bojagi lies in its flexibility and versatility as it can be used to wrap, wear, cover, drape, shield, and more.

A type of bojagi called Jogakbo was made during times when materials were scarce in Korea. Instead of discarding leftover fabric from making clothes or blankets, these scraps were sewn together piece by piece to create a bojagi.

Reimagining the sustainable mentality behind bojagi, our "Jogak-bo" becomes an invitation to participate in sustainable living.

After enjoying the fabric, "Jogak-bo" starts a new journey instead of being thrown away. It can be used as gift wrap, with details like from, to, date, and a brief note written on it. When the gift is given, the receiver is invited to reuse the fabric in the same way, creating a positive memory and contributing to sustainability.
