The People Who Divide the Work of One Garment

Cutting, sewing, ironing and finishing are split across different workshops. The skill and division of labor hidden inside one finished garment.

Before one garment is finished, it passes through many hands in Changsin-dong.

Split processes, split workshops

The person who cuts, the person who sews, and the person who irons and finishes each work in different workshops. This division of labor is not one large factory handling every process, but a production method made by many small workshops linked in sequence.

The hands hidden inside a finished garment

Inside one finished garment hanging in a store, all these workshops' hands are hidden. Walking Changsin-dong's alleys means seeing a part of that hidden process with your own eyes.
