Overview

GUIROE, the second line of Yeobaek, is a modern hanbok brand for men that aspires to stand at the liminal boundary between the East and the West and tradition and modern. Although many hanbok brands for women have a variety of pretty designs, their male counterparts are relatively less diverse, something that GUIROE fully addresses. Its Tangkor Git Hanbok Suit was selected as an Excellent Cultural Product in 2016, followed by another product named Guiroe Kor Slip-On. Designer Park Seon-ok saw the possibility of using the design of Korea’s traditional shoes for a more casual pair of shoes. She reinterpreted the design of Korea’s traditional shoes, traditionally made out of leather, by changing it into a pair of comfortable slip-on shoes while retaining the round shape at the edge. Having an urban look with a design that appeals to older people as well, the Guiroe Kor Slip- On has a white line on its frontal end, a stylistic aspect carried over from the traditional shoes. On its lateral sides, there is a flexible band that makes wearing and taking off the shoes very easy. The product subtly reveals its traditional aesthetic while also boasting a high level of comfort. By accommodating today’s fashion while maintaining the aesthetic of hanbok, the Guiroe Kor Slip-On reflects GUIROE’s ambition to position hanbok as a major fashion trend.
