Travels with the Korean fish (Singapore)
I used to give away little handmade fabric fish to helpful people I met during my travels. I bought them in bulk from a Korean gift shop in Singapore’s Chinatown.
They were inexpensive yet attractive, making for a charming accessory for flip phones. However, once the world moved to smartphones, the Korean fish became extinct.
