The Reason Behind the Service

In recent years, fabric trends from Korea have gained significant traction among individual creators and small apparel brands, boasting variability that sets them apart in the market. However, many aspiring creators faced barriers such as travel costs, language issues, purchasing anxiety, and nebulous after-sales support. These challenges often deterred potential buyers from exploring the rich fabric offerings available in Korea.

Recognizing these hurdles through feedback from clients of its original product production service, DESIGNLAB, GEEK PENGUIN decided to create a bridge connecting creators in Japan to the vibrant market in Korea, enabling them to explore fabric options without the need for extensive travel or expertise.

Korean Fabric Delivery - Penguin Delivery aims to offer users the experience of walking through the Dongdaemun fabric market—without the associated stress. With a mission to connect creators’ aspirations to the diverse offerings of Dongdaemun fabrics, it serves as a small yet significant bridge, akin to a “flying penguin” that simplifies the sourcing journey.
