Description

Under the Dancheong umbrella, you will feel as though you have been instantaneously teleported to Gyeongbokgung, the main royal palace in Seoul with thousands of years of history. This stylish travel umbrella not only makes a statement but also protects your clothing and belongings from the rain and shields your skin from sun damage.

 

Dancheong

Dancheong refers to the traditional Korean decorative coloring applied to the surfaces of wooden buildings and artifacts. This intricate art form is executed by officially authorized artisans called Dancheongjang. Dancheong serves not only as ornamentation but also has practical purposes such as protecting buildings from insects and deterioration caused by weather changes, thereby prolonging their lifetime. It also covers scratches on surfaces or defects in construction material. Additionally, it gives a character of dignity and majesty and functions as a visual marker of hierarchy.

  

To ensure the highest quality umbrellas that showcase traditional Korean patterns, we invested over a year in close collaboration with Dancheongjang, a master accredited by the Korean government, to conduct extensive research on Dancheong. It is important to maintain originality and preserve value while adding a modern touch. Also, we have endeavored to revive the domestic umbrella industry by collaborating with a local manufacturer with a rich heritage of craftsmanship passed down through generations.
