Korea Brand Spotlight♥ 봄곰 Bomgom

 

 

Today I have a really fun Korean indie accessory brand to share with you~ 봄곰 Bomgom! If you like toys, random fun items, and have a playful style this brand is one you should definitely check out!

 My inspiration comes from toys from my childhood which I grew up with and became a part of me,  making me the person I am today. They were a friend to me and something that I felt the need to protect. When I grew out of some of the toys I felt I was losing energy and a part of my dreams as a child, in hopes to have them always close by and dream,  now you can always be with your toy  ~Miss Bear (lead designer)

The brand name means “Spring Bear” and the lead designer is referred to online as 봄냥 Bomnyang (Miss Bear)

Bomgom has been selling accessories to the public since 2009!

BOMGOM 봄곰 Motto:   Make your life a fun experience

Bomgom is unisex~ both boys and girls in Korea enjoy wearing the fun accessories.

my favorite one in the pile!  Rainbow stars, ice cream, pastel chunky chain~ what is not to love?

I need to go back and buy this one T_T

Fun vintage-inspired hair ties with cute dangle buttons!

Due to the nature of these pieces being handmade, each one is a little unique and you never know what you will find!

are you feeling nostalgic yet? ♥

even my little pony makes an appearance in the Bomgom keychain line!

Super cool robot and lego headbands!

often the buttons they use make no sense with the other items in the design lol

I really love how random the items are on each piece, it makes them a lot more interesting vs a clear theme

Bomgom cellphone straps for any inner-child ♥

Fun Disney badges for your jackets, bags, whatever!

all sorts of random fun treasures combined to make a playful toy bracelet!

It feels like wearing things I found at the bottom of my toy chest, I love that!

Nerdy Kewpie and nautical playmobile!

Perfect key chain for the fast food addict hehe

아이유 (I.U.), 설리(SULEE), and 소녀시대 (SNSD Girls generation) have been spotted in Bomgom goodies among others!

I really like the idea of clipping these to a belt with a mini party dress, how cute is that?! ♥

Feature in Korea Vogue Girl~  Oh hey, BPB the other brand I featured  is in the shoot as well!

♥ ♥ ♥

Last week Bomgom announces that they will be making fashion accessories such as Hats, Scarves, gloves as well as clothing.

Where to buy 봄곰 Bomgom?

Bomgom is one of those smaller brands that has spread all around Korea, so I always seem to run into it at random while shopping since a wide range of shops carry it now.  A few of the places it can be found depending on the current inventory are..

A-Land in 강남 , 홍대, and 명동

10×10 store in 대학로

교보문구 Kyobo Bookstore

DOOTA – B1 Floor booth #122

Kosney in Edae

Like I said above, I am sure many other places carry it~ but since bomgom does not have a proper listing I am just going by what is online!  If you spot it anyplace else worth adding please do let me know ♥

Outside Korea

If you live overseas you can buy Bomgom at Joyrich in Tokyo, Osaka, Taiwan, and Los Angeles!

I did not see them at the Joyrich location here in Seoul, however.

Online

Lotte Magmile shop

Do you own any Bomgom goodies? What would you want if you could have anything from Bomgom? Where would you put it or how would you use it? ♥  I think the concept of keeping your precious toys close is really wonderful, whenever I see these pieces I do always smile! They seem to easily make any bag or backpack very cheerful and interesting for sure ^^
