We have very limited information from Korea. The country is one of the great success stories in Asia. Korean prosperity has created a consumer economy that has begun to approach Japanese levels of prosperity. We have been able to obtain very little informatio on Korean caalogs and clothing advertisements. Some infrmation on the 2000s is available from on-line catalogs. Computer use is quite intebsive and Korean consumers do a great deal of on-line purchasing. Of course we are talking about South Korea. I doubt if North Korea has any clothing catalogs or even clothing advertisements. Hopefully our Korean readers will be able to provide us more information.
We believe that Korean mail order catalogs and advertisements offer a great deal of information on specific clothing styles although we are not sure when the first catalogs appeared which would affect the garments offered.

We do not know if Korea has any fashion catalogs.
One of the most valuable aspects of the HBC catalog section is that the catalogs are dated and offer useful information on sizing, mterial, styles, colors, and construction details. Unfirtunately, HBC does not have Korean language capability.
