Shop Muru

On the second floor of a quiet alley in Seonhwa-dong, Daejeon, this select shop stays true to its name — a fragment of taste that never raises its voice. The focus here is on making and choosing things meant to stay with you for a long time. Hand-sewn fabric pieces sit alongside unfamiliar select clothing and imported odds and ends, all picked with the same idea in mind: things worth keeping close. On a day you want to build your own taste at your own quiet pace, it's worth stepping through Muru's door. Focus Item — Lace waist apron. Handmade by Muru in white lace, finished with a pocket that adds a bit of everyday practicality.
