'DIY Customized Clutch, Nubiwa' which was introduced in collaboration with Saeksilnubi artisan, Lee Deogeun, is part of Gongyeedam's first DIY collection. It designed to decorate to your own tastes presenting 'Saeksilnubi', which is Korean traditional quilting technique using silk thread.
<Technique and Use of Saeksilnubi>
'Saeksilnubi' is a Korean traditional quilting technique that stands out for its decorative function. Quilts were widely used for cold weather by grooving cotton or silk between fabric. Saeksilnubi is made of three-dimensional textures with hanji(which means Korean traditional paper) twisted between the exterior and lining from the ancient time.

Unlike quilts which have straight lines by weaving threads of the same color as the exterior, the decorative function is expressed by harmonizing curves and straight lines with color threads on white cotton cloth.

Saeksilnubi requires time and refinement and can be used in small household items such as tobacco pouches, traditional socks (called 'beoson') cases, spoon holders, eyeglass cases, and pin cushions.
<Materials of Saeksilnubi>
Silk thread quilted items usually show geometric patterns or flower patterns repeated with about three to eight colored threads.
It has a three-dimensional filled with cotton straps for convenience, but traditionally, this was made by adding hanji, which is korean traditional paper. This effectively represents the decorative function of Saeksilnubi and also has practicality with the hanji being water-resistant.
<Saeksilnubi loved for their distinctive beauty, and Nubiwa>
Mothers used to sew with silk thread in a boudoir to soothe the hardships of the day. They overcame difficult times through the visual pleasure of colors and making items for their family.

Saeksilnubi fills us with calming moments where we can focus on ourselves while creating. There is pride and beauty after completion, but there is a more sincere beauty hidden in the healing that the process gives.
