BOJAGI

BOJAGI, founded by Judy Kim in San Francisco in 2023, reimagines the centuries-old Korean tradition of cloth wrapping (bojagi) as a zero-waste alternative to disposable packaging. Each wrap is designed by Judy and cut and sewn locally by National Apparel, keeping every step of production in the city.  

Her wraps don't just replace paper; they elevate the gifts they hold, becoming something cherished and reused. It's the Korean tradition of wrapping luck into every fold.

BOJAGI, the first domestically manufactured bojagi brand in the United States, has led 15+ community workshops reaching over 400 Bay Area residents, earning a Korea Times feature for bringing bojagi culture to the US.
