The Nabyeol Satin Skirt.
$215 to $305 · quoted in consultation
Nabyeol, flying-star. A satin chima hung from a wide waistband, with a soft sheen that catches light at the pleats. The drape holds quiet body, the hem falls long, the surface reads as satin without shouting.
Satin, in motion.
Occasion
An evening event under low light. The dinner where candles are the answer and the chima has to register from the next table over. The piece for the night that runs long.
The story
The chima is the oldest piece of the hanbok wardrobe, a wide waistband and a single bias that trusts cloth to fall. Satin has lived inside the chima register since the Joseon dynasty, when sumptuary law decided which households were allowed which shines. The fabric reads as ceremony without crossing the line into costume.
Mid-weight satin blend, lined through the body so the chima holds its shape through a long evening. The hem is hand-tacked, the waistband sits cleanly, a hidden side zip keeps the panels uninterrupted. The pleats break light evenly across the front panel and the back drape holds when the wearer turns. The satin reads from the next table over.
Worn to the dinner that runs into the night, where the dress code lands at evening and the room is lit from sconces and candles. The chima catches the light at the pleat and the wearer registers across the room before she registers across the table. The piece that holds candlelight without flashing.
Hand-finished in Seoul. Inspected and fitted in San Mateo.
