Fabric and details
A mini norigae with a butterfly-and-flower mother-of-pearl juche, hung from a silk cord and finished with a short tassel. Sized for daywear rather than for a ceremonial sitting. Light on the chest, Korean at every distance.
Mother-of-pearl inlay, silk cord, tassel.
Occasion
Daily hanbok at the family table. A casual gathering where the dress is the answer and the norigae is the finish. The piece for the wearer who wants the form at the goreum and does not want to raise the volume.
See the details.
Norigae is the ornament tied at the goreum, the ribbon that closes the jeogori. The form has lived in both court and household for centuries. The butterfly motif read for joy, for marriage, for the pair that does not separate. A small version of the symbol carries the same meaning at a daily volume.
Mother-of-pearl inlay shaped into a butterfly and a small flower at the central element. Silk cord throughout. The tassel is short so the piece sits light on the chest. The whole norigae is sized for daily hanbok rather than for a ceremonial sitting. The mother-of-pearl catches directional light without flashing.
