The historical origins of bojagi are not known, but many believe that it was invented near the end of the Goryeo (고려) period. Bojagi was used by people from all backgrounds, so one didn't have to be associated with royalty to own one! 

There are so many colors and types of fabric that bojagi is made with. Because its preparation time is relatively shorter compared to other items such as hanbok, bojagi can be found acquired in no time!
