Bojagi : Korean traditional wrapping clothes
Deriving its name from the Korean word ‘bok,’ which translates to ‘luck,’ Bojagi has traditionally signified the ‘wrapping of good fortune.’
During the Joseon Dynasty, this took a special place in wedding ceremonies, where the Bojagi was adorned with patterns symbolizing aspirations of joy and happiness. Thus, it transcended its primary role as a gift wrapper and emerged as a channel of heartfelt connection and communication among individuals.

تجسد بو جا جي تراثاً غنياً من الحظ والسعادة، يتحدث عن التواصل الإنساني القائم على الجمال الثقافي. التحف الفنية تلك ليست مجرد أغلفة، بل قصص تُروى بألوان وأشكال.

This traditional Korean wrapping cloth is not only beautiful but also serves as a versatile accessory for various occasions, such as gift-giving or decor. The fabric feels high-quality and luxurious, enhancing any presentation.

It’s more than just a wrapper; it’s a meaningful piece of tradition.

Using the Beauty of Joseon Bojagi has been a delightful experience. The traditional designs and vibrant colors reflect cultural significance while making it an eye-catching decorative piece. I recently used it for a friend’s wedding gift, and the historical connection added depth to my gesture, showing thoughtfulness beyond just wrapping. It felt meaningful as each pattern is imbued with luck and happiness symbolism from the Joseon Dynasty.
