Inquire
A few sentences is enough to start. The occasion, the date, who the hanbok is for, the colors or pieces you already love. The more you share, the better the first reply lands.
How to order
From inquiry to delivery.
Every piece is made for the body that will wear it. There is no cart, no checkout. The order begins with a sentence about the occasion and ends with a hanbok on your doorstep.
Lead times
3 to 4 weeks. 4 to 6 for weddings.
From the day we confirm your order to the day it arrives at your door. Weddings need the longer window because the embroidery and the fitting take more care.
What to expect, by range

The process
Five steps. One conversation.
Free consultation
Eric writes back personally, usually inside one business day. You get options shaped to the occasion, the timeline, and the room the piece will walk into. By email, by phone, or in the San Mateo studio by appointment.
Measurements
Once a piece is chosen, Eric walks you through the measurements. Four for most hanbok, a few more for wedding pieces. Self-measure with our guide at home, or come into the studio for a fitting.
Sourcing & inspection
The piece is made by hand in our Seoul atelier. When it arrives in San Mateo, Eric inspects the lining, the goreum, the stitch line, the fall of the chima. If anything is off, it goes back. Nothing leaves the studio until it is right.
Delivery
The hanbok ships insured, with a care card and a handwritten note. An unboxing call is available if you want one. After the day, we check in to hear how it went.
What is included
What every order carries with it.
A real conversation
Free consultation with Eric. By phone, by email, or in the studio. As long as it takes to find the piece that fits the moment.
Personal inspection
Every piece is hand-checked in San Mateo. The lining, the stitch, the fall of the chima. If anything is off, it goes back.
Care instructions
A printed care card and a check-in after the event, so the piece keeps for the next decade and beyond.
Common questions
Before you ask.
Do you have a return policy?
Every hanbok is made to your measurements, so returns are limited. If something is wrong on our side, we make it right. If the piece fits and the construction is sound, we do not accept returns. We tell you this up front so there are no surprises.
What if my measurements are off?
If you self-measure and the piece arrives slightly off, Eric can usually arrange a local alteration through a Bay Area seamstress. For wedding pieces, we strongly recommend an in-studio measurement appointment in San Mateo.
How much does a hanbok cost?
Most pieces in the modern atelier collection fall between $175 and $350, made to order from our Seoul ateliers. Rental pieces (Bay Area only) and custom commissions are quoted in the consultation, where the fabric, the timeline, and the day all factor in.
Can I see a hanbok in person before I order?
Yes. The San Mateo studio is by appointment. You can see fabric swatches, try sample sizing, and talk through options in person. Send a message and we will set a time.
Do you ship outside the Bay Area?
Yes, anywhere in the United States. Insured shipping is included. International shipping is available on request.
