A ROOMY, BROWN COTTON TOTE WITH "BETWEEN YOU AND ME" EMBROIDERED IN ENGLISH AND KOREAN. THE STITCHING IS TONE ON TONE AND RAISED, SO YOU FEEL IT BEFORE YOU READ IT.
THE WORDS ARE STITCHED RIGHT INTO THE FABRIC. "BETWEEN YOU AND ME" SITS ACROSS THE FRONT IN LOOSE, HANDWRITTEN-STYLE LETTERING, WITH 너와 나 사이 SCATTERED AMONG THE ENGLISH. NEITHER LANGUAGE LEADS. THEY SHARE ONE SPACE, LIKE TWO PEOPLE WRITING ON THE SAME PAGE.
THE EMBROIDERY MATCHES THE BAG, SO IT'S QUIET. IT DOESN'T SHOUT FROM ACROSS THE STREET. YOU NOTICE IT UP CLOSE, WHEN LIGHT CATCHES THE THREAD OR YOUR HAND RUNS ACROSS IT. LIKE A NOTE PASSED ACROSS A DESK, IT'S MEANT FOR WHOEVER IS PAYING ATTENTION.
TAKE IT TO THE MUSEUM, THE MARKET OR THE POST OFFICE. IT GETS SOFTER AND MORE YOURS WITH EVERY TRIP.
