Timeless Craft, Yido Bag Classic
Yido Bag Classic (matte black)
Ⅰ. CONCEPT
The Yido bag classic is a simple and basic form of design.
The refined simplicity keeps the style trending forward.
The Yido bag classic made with high quality craftsmanship,
will be a craft that will be handed down through generations
rather than an ordinary bag.
We would like to tell the story of the black bamboo ‘Ojuk’ that
you may not have known about.
The Yido bag blassic is by grafting a work made of black bamboo, decoration and strap.
Ⅱ. Materials
√ Harvesting and Drying
Craftsman Choe Seonhui, who is making Ojuk crafts with Gongyeedam,
collected 5 years more aged Ojuk.
It takes more than 5 years for the drying process,
it prevents the bamboo from deforming unevenly with the changes
in temperature and humidity for long periods of time.
We are trustful skills on the basics, starting from preparing craft materials.
The color of the Ojuk becomes darker as if it were tanned when exposed to sunlight.
The craftsman Choe Seonhui turns the Ojuk evenly to dry it as it is used.
√ Ojuk Root
The Ojuk roots that sprout from the ground is partly used to the limitation of growth.
Ojuk itself is design, it does not require any special processing, because of its unique shape and color.

√ Ojuk Stem
The types of stems with its unique shape and deep color,
it becomes a design by itself without any special processing.
Above all, although some of the stems have a round shape,
they have angled stems, such as triangles and squares,
which are rare in trees, resulting in an unique strap that can only be seen in Gongyeedam.
In order to express the casual feeling that appears in the form in the color,
we tried to add a casual feeling without compromising the feeling of Ojuk
by giving points with gemstones such as turquoise, sard, and coral stone.

Ⅲ. Technique
“Korean ‘Jukjang’ is a craft made with Ojuk as the main material. It is known that it has only been handed down only in Korea. Since it was made by using natural colors, 80-90% of the process is still made by hand. Due to the aesthetic value is highly evaluated, but the manufacturing process is very complicating...”
