🎵🧸 I had visited several times before, but when I came this time, I found new sections for records, small items, and more alongside the clothes. They are just the kind of things that are perfect for browsing on a date and giving each other as gifts. There were loads of cute goods, including Hello Kitty.

Viva Trade Eulji Dundaun is no longer just a place for Dongmyo vintage shopping; it is a space where choosing a small gift during a date is part of the fun. To your girlfriend: “I picked this while thinking of you”... just once... haha.

₩9,000 rings and clothes perfect for fall layering

💍 There were so many turquoise and vintage-patterned rings. I do not usually wear things like this, but they really caught my eye. They are ₩9,000 and all 20% off, so they are not a burden, right? They are great as statement accessories—light but thoughtful gifts!

🧥 There are loads of items like sweaters, hoodies, and cardigans! It is still hot during the day, but it gets suddenly chilly at night, right? You will spot plenty of clothes here and there that are good to have on hand for just those moments.

The muted colors and distinctive patterns characteristic of Dongmyo vintage also have that appeal of making you think, “I could be the only one wearing this.” Easy-to-layer hoodies and sweaters are practical, so it is perfect to pick some up now in advance. There are also so many luxury scarves on one side now.

The batwing top and rings I chose

🛍 This Seoul vintage shop has fitting rooms and full-length mirrors, so it is also great for couples to take outfit photos. If you wear vintage clothes and take pictures of each other, that completes the date course, right? I picked a comfortable batwing top that is good for fall. The fabric was so, so nice! And I scored two rings too!! I was thrilled to get 20% off everything.

It is open until 21:00, so you can visit after watching DDP Seoul Light, or shop for a piece here and then wear something warm while you look around! It is an interactive performance where music and light respond in real time, and it feels a little magical. There is food everywhere nearby, so enjoy it all to the fullest!
