Chunpo Baeja (Mixtured fabrics woven with ramie and silk yarns)
- Chunpo, a mixed weaving of ramie fabric and silk, is a traditional fabric that creates fewer wrinkles than ramie fabric does, and it gives a more natural feeling compared to silk. A traditional sewing technique called “pinching technique” was used for this vest to add some texture, thereby giving a modern twist to the simplicity of material. While this traditional vest has enhanced elegant curves, it also has a modern design by removing git (the fabric that trims the collar). This design is to allow the vest to be coordinated with modern fashion
