Where to buy norigae and hanbok accessories in Australia
Part of the jinjja.shop guides — plain answers about independent Korean makers, for buyers in Australia. Last updated 7 October 2026.
What is a norigae and when is it worn?
A norigae is a traditional Korean ornamental pendant worn with hanbok, the traditional clothing of Korea. It hangs from the goreum — the ribbon ties of the jeogori jacket — or from the waistband of the chima skirt. A norigae is typically made up of a decorative pendant (paemul), hand-tied knotwork (maedeup), cords and tassels, and serves as both a fashion accessory and a symbolic charm.
Hanbok — and the norigae worn with it — appears at a handful of important occasions in Korean family life: Seollal (Lunar New Year), Chuseok (the autumn harvest festival), weddings, and dol (돌), a baby’s first birthday celebration. If you are preparing for any of these events in Australia, planning ahead is sensible, as most hanbok accessory makers are based in Korea.
Where can Australians buy norigae and hanbok accessories?
Most specialist hanbok accessory shops are located in South Korea, so Australians generally order online and have items shipped internationally. jinjja.shop is a Brisbane-based marketplace for independent, owner-run Korean brands — all of which make their products in South Korea. It carries a focused range of hanbok-inspired accessories from the brand Ungyeong, produced in-house in Korea. Orders ship from Korea to Australian addresses by EMS and are delivered through Australia Post.
What hanbok accessories does Ungyeong make?
Ungyeong (운경) produces a range of pieces rooted in traditional Korean dress. The full guide covers each item in detail. Current pieces include:
- Norigae charm — a traditional ornamental pendant combining imitation jade (not natural jade) with hand-tied maedeup knotwork, designed to hang from a hanbok jacket in the classical style.
- Gat key chains — the gat is the Joseon-era horsehair hat traditionally worn by scholarly men. Ungyeong makes two versions: the Mini Gat, a 10 cm scaled-down gat with mother-of-pearl accents, and the King’s Gat key ring, modelled on the gat Joseon kings wore when travelling in disguise.
- Saekdong pieces — saekdong is the multi-coloured striped fabric associated with traditional Korean dress. Ungyeong uses it for a tote bag and a quilted nubi bag.
- Dang-gi accessories — a traditional-pattern dang-gi (hair ribbon) scarf and scrunchie.
Note: jinjja.shop carries hanbok accessories and ornaments; it does not sell hanbok garments.
