Hello.
Today again, we. This is Ukiuki.
Going through the rain, I visited the Idus store at the Seongbok station in Suji-gu, Yongin, yesterday.
Idus; the leading handmade brand in South Korea
Idus is well-known for the handmade platform in South Korea.
It started with an application and became an internet platform by gathering freelance writers. (일일 작가..?) Idus waved the fee when the sales of a writer were under a certain amount, and it finally became a large company enough to acquire the tumblbug, a well-known funding site.
Idus opened the first offline store in Insadong, and the second store in Lotte mall, Suji. It recently opened the third one in Guro.
Idus have Etsy, which is the overseas platform, and (그것을 한국에 접목한 거 같은데 엣지보다 더 잘나가는 거 같아요.<<< 문맥을 이해못했습니다..ㅠ)
https://www.etsy.com/
I get in touch with the manager several times a month
and, I was supposed to send some items the manager requested there, but!
I put them in the parcel which would be sent to my customer by mistake.
The manager received the parcel and just told me on the phone that he couldn’t find the items he requested.
It is not that long for a drive from here, because my office is in Youngtong. However, I’ve never stopped by the Idus store with the excuse that I was too busy. I just used to check if Ukiuki in Idus was all right whenever my acquaintances looked around there and sent me pictures of Idus. There was no special plan yesterday, so I visited the Idus store at Suji to look around and to solve the parcel problem as well!
Idus store on the 4th floor of Lotte mall in Suji

The way from Yongtong to Suji was full of hills, so I continuously went go up and down the roads on the way. ㅠㅠ
I parked and went up the fourth floor. I was able to see TGI as soon as I reached the fourth floor.
Then, on the right side were a BASILUR coffee shop…
The shop was full of blue tone color and books, so I really wanted to go to the shop. I would spend time on reading books over a cup of tea there, if I had time. That was a shame. The atmosphere of the coffee shop was wonderful because there were few people and it was quiet. But, quickly (바쁘게 휙?)
When looking back, I found the Idus in the middle.
What………………?
I thought that we had a certain store. (전 매장이 있는 줄 알았어요)
What can I say…I thought it would be enclosed with a wall such as the Artbox and Daiso, but it was an open structure
………..
I often get calls about lost items, and now I know why that happens……
……….
However, there are CCTV signs all over the place due to the frequent incidents of lost items.
Come to think about it, it seems it has been several months since incidents of lost items did not happen.
Our 5g Ukiukis are displayed on the left side, and 50g Ukiukis are displayed next to them.
It’s just grateful that our items are sold steadily and demanded.
Many people purchased our items here for the first time and repurchased them on our website. I think creators(작가님들?) deserve to occupy a space in Idus to sell their product, although the cost of opening an offline store is expensive.
Moreover, mothers raising their kids have little time to using apps (어머님들이 어플 할 시간이 없으니? <<<<문맥이 이해가 안되서 일단 다 직역해놨습니다!), so they come to look around here and purchase our items. It is so thankful.
Idus is the shop for the handmade creators, and there are a lot of charming items
I took pictures of the shop yesterday.
When you need some special presents; go to Idus.
It has everything handmade; Idus!!!
The concept of items on the left side was FunFun한 산책 (meaning fun and joyful stroll) There were clothes for dogs, 하네스(?), and so on.
I was able to see many pet products because this is a neighbourhood where many people have pets.
There was a refrigerator under our products, so people could buy refrigerated products either. These were so fresh.
I wish a lot of people visit the Idus store!
