Gyeonggi Provincial Museum Cosmetic Pouch [Outside]

This cosmetics pouch is a modern interpretation of an item from the Gyeonggi Provincial Museum’s textile collection that features a flower-and-fruit pattern including six design elements: peonies, camellias, textiles, peach flowers, apricot flowers, and lotus flowers. The pouches are great gifts as they come in different designs that reflect traditional beauty and sophistication. We bought the peach flower design pouch, which currently costs KRW 7,200 with a 10% discount.

Nam June Paik’s unique video art image makes the item’s artistic identity more pronounced, which makes the identity of the person wearing the hoodie more distinct.
