What is a norigae?
A norigae is a traditional Korean pendant worn on the hanbok, symbolizing good luck, protection, and beauty through its handcrafted knot (maedup), charm (paemul), and tassel (sul).
Rooted in Korean tradition, the norigae carries wishes of good fortune, and GANADARA reinterprets its form for the present day.
