This is my mom’s wedding purse. I think it looks pretty traditional in a Korean way. When my family moved from Korea to America, they brought a few things, and this purse was one of them. As we grew up and moved around in the US, we ended up throwing or giving away a lot of our stuff. This purse is one of the few things that we kept. I actually didn’t know we had this until my mom gave it to me. She had held onto it all this time and gave it to me 15 years after we came to America.
