Fabric Shopping in Seoul, South Korea 🇰🇷

[@minakim8831]

Korea had a huge textile manufacturing indistry decades ago - DDM was the heart of all that

Just love walking in Seoul with you both. It is a different perspective and a whole new world. Thank you !

[@softenstudio]

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed coming along with us! ❤

Omg🤩I would have been like a kid in a candy store. Thanks for this hopefully one day I can have an experience like this. Enjoyed this !

[@urappomelo]

Thanks so much for this! 😊

I live in Memphis Tennessee. I get so jealous of cities with places like this with SO MANY options for fabric shopping. I can barley find %100 natural cotton where I live- and we grow it here!!!!! Let alone linen or silk. And travel to japan or Korea from the US is much more difficult 😢. So I appreciate videos like this where I can at least see what it’s like.

Hello! Thank you so much for watching 😊 Sorry to hear that! Sounds really frustrating to not be able to easily find natural fabrics when cotton is grown in your region. In my city, we also are limited when it comes to fabric shops, so I try to make the most of these trips and online shopping. I can't imagine having this much fabric choice available all the time😯

Feel the same way here in Pennsylvania, my hometown used to be a fabric and lace hub, but it all died.

You have had a great experience shopping around these cities, I'm a little jealous 😊

[@pjacksreads536]

Thanks for sharing your experience. Now I want to visit

[@threadandyarn]

This was such a lovely watch this morning 😊 I'm not surprised it felt a bit overwhelming, so much choice!!

[@softenstudio]

Thank you Lorna! I'm so glad you enjoyed watching 🥰 It was nothing like I'd ever seen before! I think we just saw the tip of the iceberg too. There were so many more buildings in that area 🤯

Hi! I love the blouse (dress?) you are wearing at the end - the squared sleeves looks so good! Is it from one of your patterns maybe? And thank you for sharing your experience in Seoul - really enjoyed to follow along!

[@LittleToxicBirdy]

Great insight into fabric shopping. Can you recall seeing any bolts of natural linen for curtains?

[@krissamanuel]

Hello! Are there ribbed, knitted and stretchy fabrics there good for dog clothes? Visiting next week!

[@softenstudio]

Hello! I'm excited to hear you are planning on making the Rue Blouse! Love to know how it goes 🥰 Thank you for watching from Thailand! ❤

[@jenniferrosebruce6385]

@@softenstudio love your work! 🙂

[@myrahnaeem9276]

Can you post A link for the exact location because I have been to dongdaemon many times but got lost . I failed to find fabric market

[@leahquispe4569]

Thanks I really wanted to see something like this because this is where I'll be going when I get off the plane !!! Do they do sewing for you , just curious or is there a place you can borrow a machine etc....

[@softenstudio]

Hello! Oh how fun 😊 The lovely stall holder where I purchased fabric from said there were tailors in the building that can make clothing for you. They were on the lower floors in the building. It is great if you can speak a bit of Korean as I found not many people spoke English. I used my translate app however and found people to be helpful. Have a great trip! x

[@Jillpeterson-f8g]

Great video! Is the fabric place open on Saturdays?

[@softenstudio]

Thank you! From what I gathered majority of the stores were open Monday - Friday. A few opened on Saturday. Best bet is midweek though :)

[@jellyacecream]

hello, do you recall the opening hours of the stores in dongdaemun shopping? and like what days were they closed? what day of the week were you there? thanks a lot! APM place 8PM - 5AM

[@softenstudio]

Hello! I recall that the Dongdaemun fabric shopping places were closed or had limited hour on weekends. When I was there they were open Monday-Friday 9am -5pm. I went shopping there on the Monday. And yes, the APM Place opened at 8pm. 🌛
