MU:DS x Joseph & Stacey - Lee Soon-shin Turtle Ship Pleats Bag (Small)
Introduce a piece of living history into your daily wardrobe with this Limited Edition Pleats Bag, a special collaboration between the premium knit brand Joseph & Stacey and MU:DS (National Museum of Korea).
Created to commemorate the National Museum of Korea's 80th Anniversary of Liberation Special Exhibition: "Our Lee Soon-shin," this bag is more than an accessory; it is a homage to the unwavering spirit of Korea’s most revered naval commander, Admiral Yi Sun-sin.
The design draws deep inspiration from the Sugunjoryeondo (Naval Training Map), a historical artifact depicting the Admiral training his naval forces. Specifically, the bag reinterprets the hexagonal dorsal pattern of the legendary Geobukseon (Turtle Ship) into a modern, sophisticated knit pleats texture.
Just as the Turtle Ship was a symbol of resilience and protection, the sturdy yet flexible curves of this bag are designed to convey a sense of courage and warmth in your everyday life. The signature Joseph & Stacey knit technique ensures the bag is soft, flexible, and durable, expanding generously when in use and folding compactly for easy storage.
Whether you choose the serene Sky Blue or the deep, commanding Navy, this bag offers a practical yet profound connection to Korea’s timeless heritage.
