This is not a reproduction of traditional Korean dress. This is a translation shaped by a multicultural experience.

J.Kim grows from Korean and Uzbek roots, from a way of seeing heritage not as something fixed, but as something lived, carried, and reassembled over time. The FW25 Fleece Ear-Flap Hat draws its origins from jobawi, a traditional Korean winter headwear.

First worn by women during the Joseon dynasty, jobawi was designed to protect the ears and head from the cold. Over time, the form became closely associated with children’s dress: practical, warm, and often regarded as a small talisman. Embroidery on jobawi carried quiet wishes for health, longevity, and care.

Children’s jobawi were typically more compact and rounded, fitting closely around the head. Women’s jobawi, by contrast, evolved into more elaborate forms. Deeper in structure, with extended ear flaps, decorative cords, tassels, and embroidery, they came to carry symbols of well-being, longevity, and beauty. Here, jobawi shifted from pure necessity toward expression and cultural meaning.

The same object existed in different states:
between function and symbol,
between childhood and adulthood,
between protection and adornment.

This gradual transformation — shaped by time, use, and meaning — became the starting point for our interpretation. Not a literal reconstruction, but an attempt to preserve the inner logic of the form: care, layering, and a quiet dialogue between past and present.

We’re opening a new series — Kurpacha Conversations. Soft talks with friends of J.Kim

In this series, we gather on the kurpacha — a traditional Central Asian floor mattress that carries the spirit of home, warmth and shared presence. Here we create a quiet, intimate setting for conversations with friends of the brand. These meetings reveal their inner worlds, how they think, create and move through life — becoming part of the world J.Kim grows from many voices

Our first guest is Anno, an entrepreneur and mother who opened Tashkent’s first space for well-crafted toys and thoughtful essentials. Together, we speak about self, inspiration and the heritage that lives within her.

A new season brings new objects: quiet, functional forms shaped by hands.

Each piece begins with observation: of how people carry things, how craftsmen carve, weave, embroider, how textures travel from one generation to another. From these gestures, new objects appear.

This drop includes a hand-crocheted tote, a walnut keepsake box, embroidered and vintage charms, and playing cards created through our visual language. Different techniques, one idea: objects shaped through collaboration.

Visit our space at the Chorsu Bazaar or discover the pieces online.

This autumn, J.Kim became part of Countryside: A Place to Live, Not to Leave – an exhibition hosted by Qatar Museums at the National Museum of Qatar, one of the region’s leading cultural institutions, where past and future, tradition and research exist side by side. Curated by Rem Koolhaas and Samir Bantal, with Yotam Ben Hur (AMO/OMA), the project explored land, movement and rural life across Africa, the Middle East and Central Asia. Within this global reflection, we introduced Bale Jacket.

Bale Jacket is an installation that bridges Korean and Uzbek cultural memory through a sculptural garment shaped like a bundle – a form deeply tied to migration. Inspired by the personal and collective histories of the Koryo-saram community, the work reflects on displacement as a catalyst for transformation and new belonging.

The jacket is constructed from vintage fabrics collected across Uzbekistan over several years, sewn into a voluminous silhouette reminiscent of travel, care, and continuity. Each textile fragment carries traces of lived experience, forming a tactile archive of movement and adaptation. The installation is accompanied by archival footage from the artist’s family, showing relatives preparing bundles for her aunt’s dowry – a gesture of both departure and preservation.

Placed upon a traditional Uzbek tugun and Koryo-Saram kundimi, the Bale Jacket forms a dialogue between two cultures that met in exile yet found kinship through generosity and hospitality. The work honors the capacity of people to create home wherever they arrive, celebrating resilience, warmth, and the beauty born from cultural intersection.

The installation was curated by Daria Zvereva and Alexandra Kharitonova.

“Self Portrait by Yeyoung Kim”

Rooted in Tashkent, we create connections that resemble fine, warm threads stretched across the world. Together, they form a small, gentle knot that keeps us close to those who share our vision.

In this series, we introduce Yeyoung Kim. From Seoul, she has extended another thread to Tashkent — one measuring approximately 4,700 kilometers.
We spoke with her to explore how people in different cultures perceive the same questions that interest us.
In this story, we focus on the people and ideas behind the creation of the vest from the FW25 collection.

Our product manager Aiker, who joined our team in Tashkent after many years in Europe, shares insights into J.Kim’s production process.

The vest, inspired by children’s play mats, features functional hand-stitched applications: a piala (traditional Uzbek teacup), a detachable lemon, a velvet tree, a rustic flower, and oval pockets. What began as a study of motherhood and care evolved into an object that celebrates touch, curiosity, and play — values deeply woven into the brand’s story.

FW25 collection reflects on early motherhood through subtle transformations of the everyday. A baby playmat becomes a vest, rattles turn into hand-embroidered suzani charms — an ironic form of couture where function meets craft.
The J.Kim House is located in Tashkent, the capital of Uzbekistan. It serves as the brand’s HQ, featuring an experimental workshop for sample production, an office, and now also a showroom.

In this story, we focus on the manufacturing process and the caring hands that lead it. We continue to maintain a handcrafted approach, paying tribute to unique talents like Svetlana and Andrey who share a passion for pushing boundaries in their lifework – highlighting the great minds and processes within is our way of keeping an inner rush and reflecting on what really matters.

The ‘Bale Jacket’ is the most time-consuming item at J.Kim that consists of from 153 to 173 individual pieces. We were eager to create a special moment for the garment, showcasing a story of creation and the efforts of talented couple behind it.
