A shop first, a wholesaler second

Objet Seoul is run by me, Jae Chung. My day job is Litko Giftshop, a Korean gift shop in Dallas, Texas. Roughly ninety percent of what Litko sells, I import from Korea myself — finding the brands, negotiating the orders, clearing customs, eating the mistakes.

Objet Seoul exists because other US boutique owners kept asking me the same question: where do you get this stuff? The honest answer — years of supplier relationships, a lot of Korean-language email, and some expensive lessons about freight — doesn't fit in a DM. So I'm turning it into a wholesale channel instead: the brands I already buy from, at minimums a single store can order, with the import handled.

The site is young and the catalog is still being stocked. What you're seeing today is the shape of the range rather than a finished line sheet. If you run a boutique or gift shop and want in early, apply for wholesale access — every application gets read by me, not a queue.
