The Puljip Blouse.
$195 to $285 · quoted in consultation
A blouse with small green-leaf embroidery scattered across the body on a cream base. The name reads as grass leaf. The pattern reads casual, the cut reads jeogori. Lightweight cotton blend, button placket at the front.
Grass leaf. On cream.
Occasion
Casual family lunches in late spring. A spring picnic on a blanket. The piece that goes outside without negotiating with the grass or the wind.
The story
The scattered-leaf print belongs to a Korean tradition of small natural motifs across plain cloth, an aesthetic that runs from Joseon-era folk paintings to contemporary minimalism. The grass leaf is the smallest of the natural motifs, a casual register that does not ask for ceremony.
Puljip carries the leaves in tonal green embroidery across the cream cotton base. The leaves are scattered, not patterned, so the eye finds them at random rather than in a grid. The cotton blend is light enough for a long afternoon outdoors. The button placket runs the front of the blouse for a casual closure that does not need the goreum.
Worn to the picnic the cousins host in the park every May. The blouse is the right register: hanbok-shaped, but not asking for the formal table. The child running through the grass holds onto the wearer's leg, the embroidery reads the same green as the lawn, the photograph holds the moment in the right key.
Hand-finished in Seoul. Inspected and fitted in San Mateo.
