🇰🇷 A genuine Korean tradition, handcrafted

Discover this Korean good-luck bell in the shape of a pollock (myeongtae, 액막이 명태), made entirely by hand in South Korea.

For generations, Koreans have hung pollock at the entrances of homes and businesses as a symbol of protection, prosperity, success, and good fortune. It is also given as a housewarming gift, to mark a store opening, or to wish someone well on a new beginning.

Each piece is handmade, one by one, using traditional techniques.

✨ 100% handcrafted in Korea

I make each bell myself, from start to finish:

• Selecting traditional Korean fabrics
• Cutting each piece by hand
• Carefully machine-sewing the pieces
• Stuffing each fish individually
• Assembling each bell by hand
• Finishing it with a traditional braided Korean silk cord (myeongju)
• Adding a brass bell

Each creation is unique and may present slight variations, testaments to genuine artisan craftsmanship.
