Description
Suhbokmun Waist Skirt
A modern reinterpretation of tradition – this Suhbokmun waist skirt is crafted with careful kkaekki hand-stitching, inspired by Korea’s rich cultural heritage.
Made in a one-size wrap skirt design, it comfortably fits waist sizes 24–31 inches (Korean size 44–77), offering both elegance and ease of wear.
✦ Fabric & Inspiration
The fabric is inspired by the Suhbokmun (壽福文) embroidered folding screen from Beomeosa Temple.
The Suh (壽: longevity) and Bok (福: blessing) characters are artistically reimagined in colorful patterns, symbolizing long life and prosperity.
Traditionally used in celebrations such as 60th birthdays, this motif carries the wish for a happy and abundant life.
Unlike floral-patterned skirts, this design offers a unique, heritage-inspired style.

نور فتح الله from الإسكندرية، مصر –
بصراحة، لم أتوقع أن تتناسب هذه التنورة مع ذوقي الشخصي. عند النظر إلى تصاميم الملابس الكورية السابقة كنت دائمًا أرى الأشياء جميلة ولكن ليست ضمن أسلوبي. ومع ذلك، عندما ارتديت تنورة سوهبوكمو الرائعة وبكل نعومتها في الطية اليدوية المدهشة وفي كل مظهر من مظاهر حبات الحياة الجديدة المنقوشة عليها شعرت بسحرٍ خاص ينساب عليّ منذ اللحظة الأولى! لون التزيين كان رائعا، وتفاصيل الخياطة أحضرت معها إحساسً بالطراز التقليدي ولأن القصة تعمل بشكل متناغم مهما كانت المقاسات الجسدية – فهي بالفعل تمنح الفتاة المصرية تألقاً واضحًا وأنوثة خاصة وجذابة تحاكي الحرف الإبداعية والعناية اللامحدودة.
Mei-Ling Hwang from Taichung, Taiwan –
Navigating through my grandmother’s fabric stash, I stumbled upon a skirt that echoes our familial ties. The Korea Suhbokmun Waist Skirt isn’t just clothing; it wears stories woven with dreams of longevity and celebration. Each stitch of kkaekki feels like an embrace – grounding yet whimsical. Inspired by the sacred patterns seen in the aged corners of Beomeosa Temple, wearing it feels akin to donning a piece of ancestral art during special occasions in Taiwan—where vibrant color imbues every festival dinner at home.
Jina from Seoul, South Korea –
Absolutely stunning design. The fabric feels high quality, and the hand-stitching details really stand out. It fits perfectly around my waist, which was a nice surprise given it’s one-size.
