Courrier de Séoul

A letter from Seoul,
once a month.

Once a month, Robey writes what Seoul showed him, and the letter leaves this studio for France. Made to be kept, or given.

Why it exists

The Courrier began with a grandmother in Paris who could no longer make the trip to Seoul. A letter in her mailbox, once a month, was the closest thing to a visit.

It exists for the people we love who no longer travel, and for anyone who still waits for real mail. The letter is typed so it is easy for anyone to read, printed on mulberry hanji so it is worth keeping, and signed in ink on every copy, so nothing about it is automatic. Subscribe for yourself, or for someone you miss. The envelope is the same. Only the address changes.
