Bokjumeoni (Korea's Lucky Pouch)

handmade in Korea

Bokjumeoni (복주머니) is comprised of two words “bok” meaning luck, and “jumeoni” meaning pockets, with its overall meaning “lucky pouch.” To put it simply, it is a pouch that wishes you good luck.
Traditionally, it was an accessory worn by all regardless of gender, and had the same meaning as a talisman. It was believed in the past to hold luck and fortune and to ward off evil spirits and ghosts.
This fortune pouch was also used as a pockets because Hanbok (Korean traditional clothes), has no pockets in it.
It is rarely seen as much these days, but was a very precious gift and beautiful accessory in the old days. In modern times, it is seen as a precious souvenir and as a symbol of good fortune and success.
We hope that through this pouch, your wishes and resolutions for the new year will come to fruitation.
