Postcard From Seoul: A Quaint Country Doll Shop In Ihwadong

This is Elisen, the talented Korean lady who makes the raggedy dolls and other handicrafts sold in g{i}ven, the shop that she runs in Ihwadong. She has a blog but it is in Korean, and I don’t read or speak the language.

I will take care of the two dolls that I bought from you! 🙂

The beautiful dolls, purses and patchwork quilts made by her.  I bought two dolls from her, but would have loved to bring back more! The shop brings out the inner child in me.

Elisen’s shop is lovely – very English. Anybody who appreciates hand-made dolls will enjoy visiting her shop. She attached a map showing the location of her shop in her  blog, but the map is also in Korean. I don’t have her shop’s address in English but it is located directly opposite this staircase, along the road that leads towards Naksan Park.
