Clothing Stores in Annandale, VA

“I followed my sister to insadong hanbok to find a hanbok for her daughter’s wedding. I was amazed by how beautiful the hanbok was and there were many different types of hanbok. The owner, Kyung is so creative, detailed and talented and so accommodating. She is truly a great artist who cares about her customers and what is best for them. My sister looked so beautiful and simply stunning. She selected two - one for the wedding ceremony and a bolero for the evening event. The bolero was a combination of prettiness and charming. Thanks kyung! ? ? ?”

“Really cute little Korean clothing and accessories boutique!! I'm a fan of Korean style/aesthetic, and have always wanted to visit one of the little boutiques in Annandale, VA. I ventured in and was wooed to make several lovely purchases by the very attentive shopkeeper! One cool thing is that we discovered we have variants of the same surname! (My husband is half Korean.) It's a relatively uncommon Korean name, so that was pretty neat. I probably wouldn't have bought anything (the items were a bit pricey for my income), but Kum (the nice shopkeeper) gave me discounts after I asked if there were any sale items. I realized that you can definitely barter a bit, especially if it's your first time. They want to make you a repeat customer!I was surprised by the pretty leather handbags. They were a bit too expensive for me, but my eye was caught. They have a variety of colors and styles (more unique than you'll find at TJ Maxx). The clothing was interesting. A lot of the styles were not quite for me (intentionally loose blouses with pretty involved/sparkly patterns), but there were a few that I absolutely loved. I ended up getting two BEAUTIFUL flowy skirts, of very good quality. It's so hard to find delicately made, modest, beautifully worked skirts like these. I bought a blouse that has a lovely pattern (it's a fabric that Kum assured me is sought-after in Korea). I bought the loveliest little tulle scarf (they had a variety of colors...could have bought them all). Kum was constantly checking on me as I was trying things on and brought me tops and bottoms based on what I'd picked out. As a former sales associate for a women's boutique, I can tell you that this strategy WORKS and is actually appreciated by customers who just want a little encouragement (and a little pampering, if I'm being honest!). She even brought me some bold kitten heels...that cracked me up! But I was actually considered some black-and-white striped ones...and I never in a million years would have tried them on without her suggestion.I also bought something I never thought I'd buy...stylish tennis shoes. They're absolutely adorable (see the photo I posted). They were thoughtfully displayed in the fitting room stall (brilliant marketing move, putting attractive handbags and a variety of shoes in there to catch your eye!). They look like they're emulating a designer (I'm not in the know enough to know which one) and are super cute.Kum asked me how I'd found her shop. I had seen a few Korean boutiques while getting amazing authentic Korean comfort food, and did a simple search on Apple Maps for "Korean apparel." There are several other boutiques in the area which I look forward to perusing. She said she would love to attract more visitors who aren't Korean. I told her that I agreed, that I thought lots of ladies would love her store. She asked if I could leave a review and I enthusiastically assented!Visit this store if you want to spend an afternoon imagining what it would be like to shop in Korea! Don't worry...prices are displayed in USD, not Korean won. ;) There's something for everyone here, and I bet you'll be asked where you found your purchase!”

“The employees are very supportive and friendly. They are always smiling and never forget to assist you if you are looking for something in particular. Overall, the shop is filled with positivity and enjoyment. You'll want to visit this place again!!”

“A wonderful, quiet little shop full of traditional Korean hanbok, and some ornamental and household items. I am adopted from South Korea and my family never embraced my heritage, so I have been wanting to get a hanbok now that I am an adult. The woman working this shop listened to my story and pulled out a hanbok that would fit me immediately. She put it on me, and found some accessories to go with it as well. She said I looked cute in it and we laughed a little together. I bought it for $350, a very good price versus the +$1000 prices for hanbok I was finding online. Had a lovely experience here and the hanbok and other goods are authentic and gorgeous! :)”
