Seoul,
All About
Shopping
Just as each person has his or her own distinct personality, so
do they each have their preferences when it comes to shopping.
Some look for the very best bargains, others look for highquality items, and still other shoppers look for the most unusual
items. Seoul is a city that will satisfy all of these personalities.
Introducing Seoul, a veritable shoppers paradise where every
kind of shopping is possible.

Four Seasons and


Four Big Sales
In Seoul, new seasons begin together with
shopping. Spring, summer, fall, winter
- the four distinct seasons of Korea - are
the defining characteristics of Seouls
fashionistas and shoppers. As each new
season approaches, so does the need for
more shopping, since trends change every
year. However, it isnt just the new items that
receive all the spotlight: shoppers who chase
the latest trends take the opportunity to
look for new items for the upcoming season,
4

while bargain shoppers wait until the end


of the season so they can take advantage of
end-of-season prices. Shoppers looking to
complement their own personal styles say
that their favorite season is between seasons
because it is the sale season.
- Main department stores and shopping
centers hold gigantic sales four times per year
- The longest sales take place before and after
the Lunar New Year and Chuseok holidays
- In the summer there is a Seoul Summer Sale,
and in the winter there is a Korea Grand Sale
- There are very big sales for cosmetics in
December

Smart Shopping
in Seoul
In Seoul, there could be a thousand
opinions on how to buy a single item. There
are also many outlets where shoppers may
find high-quality brand goods at a discount.
The outlets mostly sell end-of-season
goods at up to 70% off regular prices. They
are ideal for hardcore shoppers that like to
compare prices and bargain, since outlets
are organized like a big department store
featuring individual boutiques within.
- Know your Korean size before shopping for
clothing (see p94)
- Bargaining can be a fun part of shopping.
Try it at traditional or wholesale markets
- Shop for electronics, cosmetics and
accessories and explore specialty markets
where such goods can be found
- Visit traditional markets where you can shop,
experience local culture, and dine all in the
same place

Top 10 Items
to Buy
in Seoul
What are the things that all visitors want to buy as souvenirs or presents?
From handicrafts full of Seouls culture and history to fashion props that
cant be found anywhere else in the world, we have made a list of the top
items to buy in order to commemorate your trip to Seoul.
The following list was compiled from a survey of 300 foreigners studying Korean in Seoul.

Korean Food

Cosmetics

At a time when people the world over are


seeking to eat more healthily, Korean food
culture is making its global mark. Some of
the most popular souvenirs are Korean tteok
(rice cakes) or alcohol made from rice,
dried natural products that can be eaten
conveniently on the go, as well as snacks
good for your body. You can spot a wide
selection of well-packaged food souvenirs
at supermarkets or in the food section of
department stores. However, out of all the
products available, one of the most popular
is well-being cookies. These beautifullypackaged cookies, good enough to be
offered as presents, are made only with the
finest, non-harmful ingredients or are
entirely organic. They are also easily purchased at any convenience store nearby
at affordable prices, making them very
popular.

One frequently-heard remark by international visitors to Seoul is that most Koreans


are pretty and have good skin. Nowadays
however, these same visitors have also
learned the Korean secret to flawless skin:
BB Cream. This magical cream takes away
blemishes and leaves in their place a clear
and lively skin. A Korean cosmetic staple,
BB Cream has become so popular worldwide that even luxury brands are using it to
benchmark their own products. However,
there are other must-buy cosmetics in
Seoul. In Myeong-dong, one of Seouls leading shopping districts, there are countless
cosmetics boutiques all clustered together
where shoppers can get personalized skin
consultations and test any product before
they buy. Because there are so many boutiques competing ferociously for shoppers,
prices tend to be quite competitive.

Hanbok and
Traditional Korean
Accessories

Traditional
Handicrafts
Traditional handicrafts from any country
usually make excellent travel souvenirs
since they represent that regions history
and culture, and are not available for purchase anywhere else. This is the case with
the many traditional handicrafts that can be
frequently spotted in Insa-dong or Bukchon.
Some perennially-popular items include
dolls wearing hanbok (traditional Korean
dress), mother-of-pearl keychains, and
humorous folk facial mask sets. The traditional fan is another popular item because
it is beautifully crafted and can serve as a
decorative piece in addition to its usefulness
in hot weather. It is also a gift of great significance, since the fan is traditionally offered
to loved ones and is very environmentallyfriendly.

Koreans can still be seen wearing hanbok,


the traditional Korean garment, on special
occasions such as Lunar New Year or weddings. Most of the hanbok that Koreans wear
on those days are custom tailored, but offthe-shelf hanbok are also available. With
curves that flow like ripples in the water and
woven in a rich tapestry of colors,
the hanbok is a thing of splendid, yet simple,
beauty, which may explain why it has
recently given so much inspiration to many
of todays top fashion designers. Hanbok
are also accompanied by various traditional
accessories, such as hair pins or brooches,
both of which are usually delicate and
intricate works of art, making them popular
souvenirs in and of themselves. If you want
to get all the attention at a special event, try
wearing a hanbok rather than a dress.
Perhaps you will be the starlet on that
special day.

Clothing and Shoes

Hallyu Goods

When choosing garments, look for the


Made in Korea tag to be sure of their
caliber. Anyone who tries on a Korean-made
garment falls in love with its quality fabric,
intricate patterns and prints, and meticulous
needlework. The garments are stylized and
designs are incredibly diverse, making them
great value for money. This also applies to
shoes, socks, and T-shirts: of these, couple
T-shirts and character socks are two mustbuy items in Seoul. Foreign visitors to Seoul
often recount seeing couples dressed exactly alike as being among the most surprising of the citys sights, and couple T-shirts
make excellent and unique souvenirs, not
to mention being difficult to find elsewhere.
Character socks meanwhile, or socks bearing famous characters such as Korean stars,
are witty and incredibly cute, and even
those who are not fans of the Korean Wave
will appreciate them. What these items have
in common is their ability to make anyone
smile.

There is a famous saying among die-hard


fans of Korean celebrities, in particular the
musicians: He is not a singer. He is a way
of life. This saying goes a long way toward
demonstrating the undying ardor of hallyu,
aka Korean Wave fans. The phenomenon is
not limited to just Koreans; there are countless fans from all over the world that visit
the city in order to see their favorite stars,
waiting in line from dawn in order to attend
a broadcast, performance or an autographsigning session. Hallyu fans will treasure
their gifts of just-released Korean CDs,
DVDs, or autographed stills. Thus anyone
who is a fan of Korean dramas or K-pop must
visit one of the hallyu souvenir shops, often
operated by entertainment agencies or the
family members of celebrities.

Postcards and
Stationery

Accessories
A Seoul shopping guide would not be complete without a few words on where to buy
fabulous accessories. Accessories are musthaves when it comes to defining a personal
sense of style. Visitors may find an assortment of standard accessories, from earrings,
necklaces, and bracelets to expensive pieces
of jewelry. There are also many different
places to shop for items that only cost a few
thousand won at Namdaemun Market for
example, to rare luxury brand antiques at
Garosu-gil. They can also be found at countless street stalls, and around the Hongdae
district, where shoppers will often find
young designers eagerly selling their own
hand-made jewelry directly on the street.
These original and unique accessories are a
perfect fit for fashion-conscious shoppers in
pursuit of their own unique styles.

Photos of landmarks, or just unique and distinctive postcards, make excellent presents
or keepsakes, and are also light and inexpensive. Some postcards show off Seouls
major landmarks, while others are emblazoned with traditional patterns, paintings
or cultural assets. There are also specialized
shops that sell postcards arranged by subject. Stationery also make great souvenirs,
and range from those featuring cute characters appealing to kids, to those made with
high-quality materials and design. You can
find a large variety of stationery from Korea
and around the world at large bookstores
throughout Seoul.

Books

12

Another good souvenir is travel books


written in foreign languages about Seoul or
Korea. Some visitors buy books in Korean in
order to study the language, but other shoppers will enjoy books that are less languagedependent such as photo-rich cookbooks,
maps, and coffee-table design hardbacks,
all of which have been suggested by our
contributors. Even if one is not interested
in buying books, Seouls mega-bookstores
often sell a variety of stationery, souvenirs
and music, so be sure to have a good look
around. For visitors with an interest in rare
and second-hand books that cannot be
found anywhere else, Pyounghwa Market,
located near the Cheonggyecheon (Stream),
is recommended. Seoul residents also like to
sell their used books every Saturday in front
of the former Seoul City Hall, which is now a
library.

Tableware

Traditional tableware, such as plates,


spoon and chopstick sets, and teacups, is
another way to explore Korean culture, not
to mention local dining customs. These are
made from a variety of materials, such as
earthenware, aluminum, and wood. Korean
tableware is as beautiful as it is functional,
and comes in such a huge variety that those
with an interest in household items will
have just as much fun as the fashionistas in
pursuing the latest trends. There are even
collectors who take an interest in Korean
ceramics produced using traditional methods because of the high degree of perfection
that goes into their construction. Recently
the focus has shifted to producing highlyfunctional modern tableware using lighter
and more modern materials.

Yongsan is Seouls international quarter, where citizens from


around the world hang out. The global community here is a
product of the nearby U.S. army base, embassies, and foreign
residents who have come here to make a life for themselves.
Yongsan is therefore also a good place to find international
shops that show the lifestyles of these residents.
To some, Itaewon, a district of Yongsan, is seen as a foreign
country whose liberal environment reflects its cultural
diversity. Its streets contain numerous ethnic restaurants,
cafeterias, and vintage shopping stores. Visitors will be able
to find European antiques, large-sized clothes, and shoes
that they may not see elsewhere in Korea. It is also home to
Seouls only mosque, around which can be found many halal
restaurants.
In recent times, nearby Gyeongnidan-gil and Hannam-dong
have become increasingly popular, the former for its many
chef-owned restaurants and fashion designer shops, and the
latter as a place to enjoy brunches or desserts. The area is
also good for buying hard-to-find international ingredients.

movement on the rise worldwide, Seoul is playing its part through the creation of opportunities
for consumers to become aware of high-quality products that contribute to social well-being.
Consumers can trust in the quality of these products all the while contributing to the betterment
of society, as well as with the knowledge that they are paying fair prices.
