The first area our editor entered was the JERRYBAG Zone.
The wide variety of bags on display immediately caught my eye, and their vivid colors made them stand out even from a distance.
The space is spaciously designed, so you can freely look around, try things on, and even touch the materials yourself.
You can really feel the unique, sturdy texture of the tarpaulin, which is also water-resistant for everyday use, so it seems like it will last a long time~!

This photo is an iconic image that represents the starting point of JERRYBAG.
JERRYBAG S*Planet is a brand that was launched in 2014 to help address the reality faced by children in Uganda, who have to walk long and dangerous distances to carry water.
Using the skills and materials of local women, products are made in a sustainable way,
Through these proceeds, we provide children with "JERRYCAN BAGS" that allow them to safely carry and transport water bottles.
So, purchasing a JERRYBAG left a deep impression on me because it means actively participating in making a real difference in someone’s daily life.

We were able to freely try on and choose the bag we wanted.
Our editor also tried on each of their favorite designs with great enthusiasm.
When I actually tried it on, I could feel both the unique lightness and sturdiness of the tarpaulin material, making it incredibly practical.
The colors are vivid and the designs are unique, making these items perfect for adding a pop to your everyday style!
There are a variety of sizes available, including travel bags, everyday bags, and laptop bags, making it easy to choose according to your preferences and needs.
I especially liked that the space is large enough to try on several bags comfortably.

This product caught our editor's eye!
After hearing the explanation, I found out that it’s a newly released product!
This bag is made from recycled fabric created by repurposing discarded PET bottles.
It is much sturdier yet lighter than regular fabric, making it perfect for use as a daily bag.
It's a practical size that can even fit books or electronic devices like an iPad!
I really liked that the material itself is an eco-friendly fabric that helps reduce waste and lower carbon emissions, making it especially meaningful.

The item that our editor was most eager to introduce at the store is this JERRYBAG Signature Bag.
The vivid blue color is its most distinctive feature, and in person, the shade is even more striking, making it a perfect accent wherever you go.
This bag can be worn as a backpack or carried like a handbag, making it a versatile two-way style.
It's lightweight yet sturdy, making it practical not only for daily use but also for travel.
The fact that you can wear it at different angles, creating a variety of styles just like in the photos, makes it such a fun design—even our editor wanted one!

There are various JERRYCAN water bottle zones available.
The product is inspired by the "JERRYCAN that children in Uganda used to carry water, so its meaningful design immediately caught our attention.
JERRYCAN Water Bottle is made from bio-Ecozen material, which is derived from grains such as corn or wheat.
Above all, I liked that it is made from eco-friendly materials that do not release environmental hormones, so it is safe for everyone from children to adults to use.
There are also goods like stickers and brushes that you can use together, so it seems like it would be fun to mix and match them.
There is also a small café called "Café Kirin" inside the store.
It uses African coffee beans, which aligns well with the identity of the JERRYBAG brand, and
The atmosphere of the space was cozy and charming, making it perfect for enjoying a casual drink.

There was also a small activity area on one side of Cafe Kirin where you could enjoy coloring.
Colored pencils and markers are provided on the table, so it's nice to spend time leisurely coloring while waiting for your coffee or taking a break.
Even children can have an enjoyable time without getting bored.
The fact that you can also enjoy small hands-on experiences adds to the charm of JERRYBAG S*Planet~!
On one side of JERRYBAG S*Planet, you'll find a space dedicated to the eye-catching handmade fabric brand, APOYO.
‘APOYO’ means 'thank you' in Acholi, a language spoken in Uganda. True to its name, it is a brand that embodies warm values and a sense of community.
It is especially meaningful because it teaches sewing skills to parents in the Gulu region of Uganda, helping them earn a stable income, and the profits are then reinvested into their children's education.
In this space, you can find a variety of items made from Kitenge, a traditional Ugandan fabric.
Thanks to the bold colors that blend nature, animals, and geometric patterns, the atmosphere feels instantly transformed the moment you step inside.
Our editor will introduce each of the goods discovered in this space, one by one ✨

A variety of accessories made from kitenge fabric were on display in the APOYO space.
From eco bag-sized bags to takeout drink carriers and water bottle pouches—!
The takeout drink bag especially caught our eye, as its design is something you rarely see in Korea.
The bold patterns make these products perfect as statement pieces, and in person, the colors stand out even more.
The passport case with its vibrant patterns really stood out!
Not only does it hold your passport, but there is also a separate compartment on the side for a pen, which will be really useful when you need to fill out immigration cards while traveling.

There was also a wide variety of fabric hair accessories like headbands and hair scrunchies!
Our editor tried it on and found that the elastic band is sturdy, holding the hair securely in place and keeping it neatly tied without coming loose~!
The headband’s colors brightened up my face, making it a great style accent, while the hair scrunchie seemed perfect for everyday use without any fuss.

These dolls are each hand-crocheted in Uganda, so no two are exactly alike.
The fact that it is truly one of a kind felt like its greatest appeal, and
Even though they have the same design, each one is subtly different, giving them their own unique expressions and vibes, which made it fun to look at.
There were also Africa-shaped crayons made to look like LEGO blocks, so our editor tried drawing a picture with them!
The small and cute size makes it easy to hold, and it seems perfect as a gift for children.

The inside of the laptop pouch is padded, so you won’t have to worry about putting your device inside.
The travel wallet is thoughtfully designed with multiple compartments, making it ideal for organizing cards, tickets, receipts, and more. Even when opened, the design remains quite attractive.

These are handmade dolls representing animals from African national parks.
Each piece is carefully handcrafted by local women in Uganda, so even items of the same type have slightly different patterns and shapes, giving each one its own unique charm.
Just placing it lightly adds a focal point to your space, and your purchase also helps support the independence of local women!
Even though it’s just a small doll, it felt like a meaningful purchase.
The walls were filled with a wide variety of accessories, such as keyrings and straps, all neatly organized by type!
There was a wide variety of colors and designs, making them perfect as accents for bags or pouches, and they were filled with items that make great, affordable souvenirs.
It was a section that made you want to buy at least one thing just by looking at it..!
Our editor will explain in more detail 💫
[Image Slider]
The keyrings and straps here are made from "reflector" material, so they really shine and stand out when they catch the light!
When I took a photo with the flash on, I was surprised at how big the difference was.
It reacts to car headlights, making it much more visible at night, and can be attached to bicycles, umbrellas, or children's bags.
During the day, it's an adorable accessory, and at night, it transforms into a safety item—truly a perfect two-in-one product!
In fact, JERRYBAG has been consistently running the ‘SAFE & SAVE 365’ pedestrian safety campaign.
This campaign was launched to ensure the safe movement of children and pedestrians, with the goal of preventing traffic accidents involving children in Korea!
Seeing them in person, I realized that they’re not just stylish—they’re also highly functional items that you can actually use to stay safe in your daily life!
The reflector line featuring uniquely Korean elements such as Seokguram Grotto, Goryeo celadon, and Haechi also really stood out.
The Haechi keyring is especially highly recommended for fans of "K-Pop Demon Hunters"!
The Haechi keyring, a symbol of justice and protection, will keep you safe even on dark nights~!
And there was also a reflector luggage tag that’s perfect for travel.
You can easily spot your suitcase even in dark places, and it also makes a stylish statement as a standout accessory.
It seems like it would be great to attach it to your pet's leash when taking a walk at night!
The reflector line, inspired by traditional Korean changho (window lattice) patterns, is also truly beautiful.
The pattern subtly sparkles when it catches the light, reminiscent of hanok (traditional Korean house) window lattices, giving off a distinctly Korean vibe.
Above all, the packaging is beautifully done, making it a perfect item both as a souvenir from your trip to Korea and as a gift for friends!
Not only was there the reflector line, but there were also plenty of small yet eye-catching accessories.
From bracelets made by stringing together individual paper beads, to card wallets crafted from recycled tent fabric, and even paracord holders that make carrying your water bottle easy!
These items are not only practical but also made from meaningful materials, making them perfect for personal use or as gifts!
It doesn't end here!
If you go further inside the store, another spacious area opens up. Since I was already satisfied just seeing the front area, I couldn't help but get even more excited about how much fun this inner section would be!
The space is quite large and comfortable, making it perfect for taking your time to look around.
[Image Slider]
There was a huge variety of bags to choose from, which made the selection process really fun!
Available in a variety of sizes suitable for everyone from children to adults,
With a wide range of styles including backpacks, eco-bags, and bokjori bags (traditional Korean drawstring bags), it was easy to find something that perfectly suited my taste.
The bold pattern alone really makes your look stand out, so it feels like it will definitely make an impression in your travel photos!
[Image Slider]
Our editor truly enjoyed this space to the fullest~!
We tried on clothes ourselves, tried carrying the bags, and even wore hats with vibrant patterns!
The hat, in particular, is incredibly lightweight, so it won’t add any bulk to your luggage when you travel, and it seems perfect for shielding yourself from the sun.
The bags were the perfect cute size for children to carry.
We finally had a chance to look through all the goods in this spacious area one by one~!
And there’s also a reflector keyring corner where you can decorate to your liking!
Just pick your favorite keyring from the variety available and simply slip it onto the ring—you're done!
It was fun because I could make it in my own style, and the price was affordable, so it was easy to enjoy without any burden.
Moreover, there were so many parts with popular Korean memes on them these days that I couldn't stop laughing while choosing.
A random capsule draw with no blanks—our editor tried it out firsthand!
After making your payment at the counter, simply insert the special token you received and turn the handle.
The price was just 3,000 KRW, and card payment was also available, so it was easy to enjoy without any burden!
Thump thump!
I opened it full of curiosity, and I won a hairband worth 12,000 KRW!
Our editor was amazed to find such a great deal for just 3,000 KRW!
We also found a button in one corner of the store that tells the story of JERRYBAG in both Korean and English audio!
When you press the button, JERRYBAG gives a brief introduction to the space, which is really useful for international customers.
And if you participate in the Instagram event, you can receive a JERRYCAN keyring!
Our editor also made sure to participate in the event!
They even gave us cute stickers, so it was really fun to decorate it ourselves.
It's small but meaningful, and since I was able to complete it with my own design, it became a goodie I feel even more attached to.
This isn’t the end!
I also received a fortune card~!
When you scratch it with a coin, a cute lucky message appears on the card. It was just a small event, but it made me feel happy for no particular reason.
This card was even more special because you can receive a gift when you visit again.
The gift changes depending on the number of visits from the 1st to the 4th time, so make sure not to lose it and keep it safe!
Lastly, near the store entrance, there is a wide selection of cute animal stickers available.
You can pick out just one design you like, and since the illustrations of Ugandan animals are so cute, they make perfect souvenirs!
The space was thoughtfully prepared down to the smallest sticker, so we were able to enjoy our visit from start to finish :)
After taking a leisurely look around ‘JERRYBAG S*Planet’ today, our editor was truly surprised to discover that such a space existed in Seongsu.
