We always talk about our products but today, I would like to introduce you to Jeoung, our chief designer and founder of Bidulki Judan. When she first came to America in 1984, her dream was to attend FIT in New York to continue her education in fashion. However, this dream came to a screeching halt when she found out she was pregnant. She was unable to attend but there is a reason for everything, right?
So, now what? Pregnant. At home. Nothing to do. She decided to attempt creating a hanbok. She saw it done a million times when she was living in Korea (the hanbok industry had been in the family for over 30 years at that time). After her first creation, she started making and selling hanboks from home. Success!
In 1985, she opened up her own business carrying on our family business name, Bidulki Judan (큰비둘기 혼례방 in Korean). She sold custom-made hanboks and bedding to hundreds of couples since her opening day. We decided to go through all of her log books and she made an outstanding 4,000+ hanboks since 1985! Success!
We would be nothing without our clients. Thank you so much for your love and support!
For those of you who don't know yet... the baby was me.
1987. My Baptism.
I applaud my mother for all of her hard work and am so proud of her. I love you, Mom!
