Mosi (Korean ramie) is a traditional handwoven fabric made from the bast fibers of the ramie plant, a perennial member of the nettle family cultivated in Korea for centuries. Known for its long, silky fibers, ramie produces a textile that is exceptionally light, breathable, and cool to the touch, with a natural luster that grows softer over time while retaining remarkable strength.

Saekdong silk is a traditional Korean multi-colored striped silk textile historically used in children’s hanbok and women’s garments. Its vibrant colors symbolize protection, joy, vitality, and wishes for a bright future.

Note:

  • Each lantern is individually hand-made.
