GALLERY SHILI's signature lacquered summer jacket is the result of a unique collaboration with Korean artisans—including Park Gang Yong (National Intangible Heritage No. 13)—to revive a long-forgotten textile tradition. This innovative fusion of heritage and design earned the jacket a special prize at the prestigious Ishikawa International Lacquer Exhibition in 2017.
By applying natural lacquer to delicate, high-maintenance summer fabrics like silk and linen, the brand creates a remarkably durable material that resists mold, remains fully washable, and stands up to strong ironing. Furthermore, the natural aroma of the lacquer acts as a built-in insect repellent, reviving a functional benefit famously relied upon by ancient monks who wore lacquered robes to keep summer pests at bay.
