Leesle, a newly launced hanbok brand has introduced a rider jacket and a hanbok denim one piece dress recently.
Park Sang-hyeon, a fashion stylist said "The leather rider's jacket and denim are a pair that goes well together to begin with, Especially when the length of the skirt is appropriate to not be reached to the ankle and the pit is slim, the bodyline fits more beautifully.
