From the past, people usually show off what they have and indulge in wealth.

From the past, people usually show off what they have and indulge in wealth. By comparing people's tendency to a pond, depicted the "Pearl Pond" that the traditional symbols of Korea's wealth are floating. The pearl pond inspired by the mother-of-pearl technique, one of the traditional craft techniques, was reinterpreted in a modern way, and the leather bag was produced using the oriental aesthetic.

과거부터 사람들은 가진 것을 과시하고 재물을 탐닉하곤 한다. 사람들의 그런 경향을 연못에 비유하여 한국의 전통적인 부의 상징물들이 유영하는 연못 ‘Pearl Pond’를 그려냈다. 공예 기법 중 하나인 자개 기법에서 영감을 얻은 자개 연못을 현대적으로 재해석했고, 동양적인 미감을 살려 레더백을 제작하게 되었다.

从过去以来，人们就爱炫耀自己的东西，沉溺于财物。将人们的这种倾向比喻为莲花池,描绘了韩国传统财富象征物游泳的莲花池"Pearl Pond" 。从工艺技法之一的螺钿技法中获得灵感的螺钿莲花池以现代感重新诠释,并展现东方美感制作了皮革包。
