Dongdaemun Market Clothes
Many people ask about the location of Dongdaemun Brand (Bonded Brand), but each market has its own website, so you can check the location here.
If you don’t know where it is, you can go to any wholesale mall and check.
(Sometimes the brand and the store name are different.)
Go to the website – Jeilpyunghwa [link]
Some of them were in Jeilpyunghwa market, but after the fire they moved to Bellpost, DDP and APM place, so you can check each site to find out where they are.
First of all, I usually go to Jeilpyunghwa Market (and I only go to self-made places).
The market is open during the day, so it’s more accessible to vendors.
Of course, the unit price might not be as cheap as you think.
So I only buy products for sale.
Jeilpyunghwa Market used to have shops that didn’t accept retail customers at all.
Nowadays, because of the bad economy, most of them can take retail orders, so I haven’t even seen them in the past.
There are a lot of people who come empty-handed after going with expectations, and a lot of people are confused because they cannot exchange or return after buying.
At best, when I bought it, it had holes in it and was the wrong size!
Now, at least, they let me try them on, but I still buy with my eyes wide open elsewhere.
It’s also convenient to only go to the shop where you buy every time.
Queens Square, where the APM, DDP and Bowen stores are located.
These places are just a quick look around when you go to the night market.
It’s hard to even ask the price, lol.
Even the sale items are hard to buy for retailers.
So I just go window shopping.
APM, APM PLACE and DDP are all organised like a department store, so it’s great to check out the latest trends.
p.s. In summer and winter, I go to Dongdaemun Wholesale Market after packing a lot of money. If it’s also sold at retail, I buy it or not.
Dongdaemun Market Shoes
Dongdaemun Shoe Market is located across Cheonggyecheon Stream and Shinpyunghwa Market, and Dongdaemun General Market, the world’s largest fabric and accessories market, is just down the street from Kodang, so you can enjoy shopping together. In the direction of Ewha-dong, you can also see Heunginji Temple, Korea’s No. 1 treasure, and we recommend a happy shopping trip in the never-sleeping Dongdaemun shopping district.
