Korean craftsmanship is seeing a renaissance, and we're loving it. Ditch those made-in-China reproductions, or else the hastily-bought airport gifts. Instead, do yourself a favor and visit these shops, where Korean traditional artisans and modern designers alike display their wares. You'll find beautifully hand-stitched fabrics, hand-carved stamp seals and lacquerware in all shades of colors.
