Among the tens of thousands of stores within Seoul I found a hidden gem. I walked over 2.3 million steps exploring Korea and this store is the one that has spoken to me the most out of all those steps. The store is @doyo_space it is run and operated by this kind lady in the first picture. The store specializes in traditional Korean natural dyed hand made garments and bags. When you enter the store you are met with the smell of cedar, the sound of relaxing music and rows of beautifully hand made clothes, it's almost like entering the wardrobe from The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe. I originally bought a pair of pants for my brother here but I could not get the shop out of my mind so I returned to buy a bag and asked if I could take some pictures because I loved the vibe of the store. The owner was very thankful and said take as long as I wanted so I took these pictures. I tried to get across the vibe of the store but it's really difficult without all five senses being there. After I was finished the lady kindly gifted me some of her beautiful hand dyed fabric (the one sitting on the chair) and told me to use it to make a scarf. If you are in Korea or ever visit I highly recommend checking out this shop. I will truly remember it forever.
