Whether you're prepping for a special occasion or adding comfort to your space, BDK MINT has everything you need to infuse a bit of Korean into your life.

 

As a third-generation family business, we take pride in our personalized service, ensuring every client receives the attention and care they deserve. Modeled after the revered Korean "hon-lae-bang" (혼례방), BDK MINT is your one-stop destination for all things wedding-related, blending tradition with contemporary flair.

 

Traditionally, the bride would provide the hanboks for the groom's family and items for the home. The groom would provide the hanboks for the bride's family. Although these traditions are not as common today, the couple and their families will seek out bedding and furniture to help the bride and groom start their new home together.

 

BDK MINT was founded in 1985 in Philadelphia.

 

 

THE FAMILY

We are a third-generation family business established in Daegu in 1954 by "Grandmom Kim". Known as 큰비둘기 혼례방, the brand has been long synonymous with unparalleled quality in hanbok craftsmanship. It was a reputable company to the point where if you held a bag from 큰비둘기, everyone knew that you had the highest quality Hanbok made by the most renowned hanbok makers in the industry.

Our owner and chief designer, Jeoung, has dedicated almost 40 years to perfecting the art of hanbok creation. Since 1985, she has personally crafted thousands of hanboks for clients worldwide.

In 2009, we welcomed a new dimension to our business with Jeoung's daughter, Jessica, joining the BDK MINT team. Jessica, an expert in Paebaek ceremonies, has brought fresh insights and innovative marketing strategies to our brand.

We are a mother-daughter team and we are proud to continue our family legacy into its third generation. We hope to extend our love to all of those who come through our doors!
