Orange Sea, located on Gwanganri Coastal Road, is a gift shop that sells postcards and postal-related design products that tell the stories of Busan, its sea, and the local area. Under the slogan "Anyone can be an artist," the shop sells works created by local residents, young artists, and local creators.

The "Make Your Own Postcard" program allows local budding artists, as well as tourists visiting Busan, to participate in the production of designs. In a dedicated space, participants can draw pictures for postcard designs, and selected works are then edited by designers to be turned into souvenirs such as postcards and magnets, and the creators are paid a fee. Anyone can become a designer or artist.

On the first floor of the "ㄱ" shaped store, you can find postcards, as well as a wide variety of design products, including handmade crafts, stationery, accessories, and textiles. Although it is a small space, it is perfectly matched by the attractive design products. It is the perfect place to find a special keepsake for yourself or for us while strolling along Gwanganri Beach.

Camel & Oasis, a local illustration studio based in Jeonpo-dong, Busan's hipster hangout area, has opened a new location, "Newport Busan," in Namcheon-dong. The first floor is a cafe area, and the second floor is set up as Camel & Oasis' studio and a pop-up exhibition space for artists and brands.

Newport Busan has three keywords: jazz, coffee, and community. The first floor in particular is a space filled with the aroma of jazz, soul music, and coffee, reflecting the tastes of director Kang Tae-young, who is a jazz music lover.

The name "Newport" comes from the city of Newport in the United States, where the world's oldest jazz festival is held. Posters designed by Camel & Oasis can be enjoyed on the first and second floors, and the seasonally themed posters will make you nostalgic for your time in Jeonpo-dong.

3. Vintage Eye Collectors Club – A mecca for timeless beauty and vintage watches

Located in Jungang-dong, Busan's old town, Vintage Eye Collectors Club is a specialty store that imports, restores, and sells vintage models from historic watch brands.

It is a holy place for vintage watch fans not only in Busan but all over the country. The selected vintage watches are brought back to life through a rigorous appraisal and restoration process by our expert watchmakers. This requires a deep understanding of the original watch and brand, outstanding restoration techniques, and a wealth of experience, all of which are possessed only by Vintage Eye Collectors Club in Korea.

“Vintage is a testament to the passage of time. It is a unique testament to a particular era, symbolizing a longing for the past and authenticity to those emotions. Even though many moments and things have passed, we believe that vintage watches have a value that goes beyond just being objects,” says CEO Song In-jun.

Another big attraction of this store is its location in the old town, which is full of analog charm. We also recommend starting your own vintage tour of the Jungang-dong area from the Vintage Eye Collectors Club.

4. MadeFrom - Busan's hidden treasure, a shop filled with vintage charm

Located in an alley not far from Mitsugirisato Beach, Made From is a shop that handles a variety of vintage items, including lighting fixtures, tableware, mirrors, postcards, and bags. Inside the store, you can have fun finding your favorite items, like a treasure hunt. What is particularly interesting is the history surrounding this place. Once a rice store, then a local supermarket and a small shop, it now faces the face of a vintage shop. The exterior, made up of red bricks from the past and newly built red bricks, is also impressive. The greatest feature of this place is that not only the items lined up inside the store, but the store itself is part of the vintage scene.

5. Lolowayondo - A local grocery store offering a fresh lifestyle

Yeongdo is one of the most popular areas in Busan these days. Located near Bonnye Market, Lolo and Yeongdo are local grocery stores.

A city you want to live in needs good stores that enrich your daily life. Roro and Youngdo aim to be an essential part of the daily life of the MZ generation living in Youngdo . The store name "Come Play" was inspired by this idea. It means that it is a store that you can visit casually. Roro and Youngdo introduces a selection of food and lifestyle goods from overseas and local areas.

The criteria for selecting products are reliable quality, reasonable prices, preservation of history and originality, and how the producer's philosophy is reflected in the product. Eye-catching design packages and ideas are also important. Another attraction is that the keywords Busan and Yeongdo are linked to a story and the selection of food items is re-selected. For example, inspired by the fact that the name "Busan" comes from salt making using cauldrons, the store introduces Maldon salt, a salt from the Maldon region of England. It is not just a grocery store, but also serves as a community space that connects people through food and drink.

6. Haupt

Located in Jeonpo-dong, this brand pop-up showroom is not just a space rental but also serves as an agency handling offline branding. Starting with the Sysology pop-up in June last year, it has collaborated with 10 brands to date, including Magazine, SW19, and Laura James Harper. There is intentionally no entrance on the first floor, so visitors start their experience at the brand showroom on the second floor. After enjoying the pop-up on the second floor, visitors can naturally go down to the first floor and enjoy a moment at the cafe and bar.

7. LILI (LIMLIM) - A pop-up showroom where creative dreams come true
