10 Corso Como

The Korean arm of a Milanese designer, 10 Corso Como is more than just a trendy retailer. The store features high quality fashion, a design and art gallery, a bookshop and a garden café. Technically, you could spend an entire day at 10 Corso Como and not get bored. Former fashion editor Sozzani created the brand to combine all her passions in one store, and she’s done it perfectly.

Smith Market

Valentino, Gucci and co. for a fraction of the original price? That’s what you’ll find at Smith Market. This lovely boutique lets you pick up some of the biggest names in the fashion world for up to 90% off the label price. What’s great about Smith Market is that you can go online and regularly check their inventory so that you don’t miss a single hot item. If you own designers pieces you’d like to get rid off, you can also sell them to Smith Market for a good price and re-invest them in some new goodies. 76-6 Jamwon-dong, Seocho-gu, Seoul https://www.instagram.com/p/BNBwcoQB8pP/

Pyeong Hwa Fashion Town

Dongdaemun has long been one of Seoul’s most prominent fashion districts, especially as it is home to Dongdaemun Design Plaza, where the bi-annual Seoul Fashion Week is held. Pyeong Hwa is not only a store but an entire street market filled with boutiques and shops selling anything and everything from accessories to full outfits and shoes. The best part about this market is that it leaves some room for price negotiation.
