GALLERY SHILI revives forgotten textile traditions, transforming them into modern fashion and crafts. Born from a profound encounter with Park Kang Yong—Korea’s Intangible Cultural Asset No. 13 lacquerware artisan—our collection bridges ancient heritage and contemporary living.
Our signature room slippers layer natural lacquer over the raw grain of sturdy linen. As nature’s most resilient varnish, lacquer renders the fabric beautifully durable, allowing it to retain its shape through hand washing and ironing. It infuses the slippers with natural antibacterial, antifungal, and deodorizing qualities. This design channels the quiet wisdom of ancient monks who wore lacquered clothing to repel summer sweat and insects.
Brought to life in collaboration with artist Park Kowoon, the collection captures an Eastern sensibility—translating the vital energy of tens of thousands of artisanal strokes into a calm, modern rhythm for today's home.
