Discovering the Beauty of Traditional Curves
A curve is a line formed by a point moving continuously on a plane or in space.
The curves of Korea, which have flowed gracefully for over five thousand years, hold great significance in our heritage. Our ancestors deeply valued these curves, which can be seen in traditional Korean dance and, most notably, in the Hanbok.
The natural upward curve of a Hanok roof embodies timeless beauty, while the smooth, unembellished curves of white porcelain moon jars capture a serene elegance. The beauty of Korea is closely intertwined with these curves.
The Chosun Norigae Nubibag is a result of this deep connection to traditional curves, reflecting their classic beauty.

The ongoing process of refining and enhancing prototypes
The initial prototypes were 1.5 to 2 times larger with shorter handles, but through continuous refinement, we achieved a design that maximizes the elegance of curves and the grace of tradition.
After extensive material research, from basic quilting fabric to double weave and other luxurious, sturdy fabrics, Chasigan found the perfect material. This led to the creation of a high-quality bag that embodies both traditional charm and sophisticated design.
Despite the rising costs of fabric and dyeing processes this year, we refused to compromise on quality.
Chasigan ensured that even those well-versed in materials and craftsmanship would be impressed by the value, design, and stitching quality.
The bag’s shape was carefully designed to enhance the beauty of curves, with pleats on both sides of the central part and at the bottom, creating a rounded, unified look. Additionally, a double-sided silk label featuring the Chasigan character adds a playful touch.
Luxurious 100% Cotton,
Finely Quilted Fabric
The Nubibag is made from 100% cotton with fine 3mm quilting, ensuring both durability and subtle Korean elegance.
Reinforced with an additional layer for thickness, the interior is lined with double fabric, and all seams are bias-bound for a polished finish. Unlike thin fabrics that lack structure, the Nubibag's thick, sturdy material offers luxury and durability, making it a versatile choice for all seasons.
Convenient Size for Everyday Use
Online shopping often leads to unexpected surprises when the actual size of a bag doesn’t match the one seen on screen.
The Chosun Norigae Nubibag was designed in the standard eco-bag size, familiar and practical for everyday use. A ring was added on the side for attaching the Norigae keyring or other accessories, allowing for customizable styling. The placement and length of the ring were carefully considered to ensure a perfect fit.

Chasigan thoughtfully designed a side ring on the bag to allow for the seamless addition of accessories like keyrings, enabling a harmonious pairing with the Norigae keyring. Special attention was given to the placement of this ring.
Extensive consideration was given to various aspects, including the bag's center, side, and the shape of the ring, resulting in the optimal positioning and length for the ring.
Handcrafted Norigae Keyring by Traditional Artisans
Korean knots, passed down through generations, are a form of traditional folk art.
Unlike Western knots that use multiple cords, Korean knots are made using a single thread, requiring meticulous craftsmanship to achieve balance. The Norigae keyring pairs beautifully with the bag but is also versatile enough to be used on its own.
Each knot is meticulously made from a single thread, maintaining balance and beauty, with four vibrant designs to choose from.
The high-quality tassels are twisted into a round finish, showcasing superior craftsmanship.
The strawberry tassel attached to the knot is of high quality, made by twisting the thread to create a rounded, durable finish, unlike the loose, triangular tassels found in lower-quality items.
When you carry the Chosun Norigae Nubibag, the norigae decoration is visible from the front, offering a traditional touch without overwhelming your daily outfit.
This keyring is versatile, adding a unique flair to plain bags or even backpacks, and is easy to attach and detach, making it a perfect accessory for any look.
