[Asia Economy Reporter Jeon Jinyoung] Lotte Hotel's lifestyle hotel brand L7 announced on the 15th that it is conducting the ‘Agat Ot Yeolduddal’ ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) project together with Park Chunhwa, a master of Korean traditional clothing (Hanbok) in Korea, and students from the Fashion Design Department of Seoul Design High School.

The Agat Ot Yeolduddal project is an eco-friendly activity that transforms bedding fabrics discarded by the hotel into Hanbok.

It is also a youth-friendly project that contributes to the transfer of skills and nurturing of successors through the process of making Hanbok together with Master Park and about 10 students from grades 1 to 3 in the Fashion Design Department of Seoul Design High School.

Lotte Hotel provides an exhibition space where the recycled Hanbok can be freely viewed and supports the production of videos documenting the Hanbok-making process.

The project name Agat Ot Yeolduddal means Hanbok that can be worn according to the months or seasons until the baby turns one year old. Using natural dyeing techniques, a total of 14 sets are presented, including 28 garments made from Hanbok fabric and discarded linen, as well as 8 accessories.

The completed Hanbok can be seen from the 19th of this month until January 31 of next year at the lobby on the 1st floor and the lounge on the 3rd floor of L7 Myeongdong.

A representative of L7 Hotel said, “This is a youth-friendly project that not only focuses on eco-friendliness but also inherits precious traditional culture for the generation that will lead the future, delivering new experiences and inspiration. We hope it will be a good opportunity to rethink the importance of the environment and our heritage, as well as various ways to utilize discarded items.”
