I finally achieved a long desired goal: I just bought my first hanbok ! I have always wanted my very own hanbok ever since I attended a wedding in Seoul 9 years ago. I rented mine back then and always dreamed of having my own. My daughter has her own but she has grown out of it already and needed a new one for the dolchanchi we are attending in December. Thanks to Yelp I found Mizland and went there tonight. I was greeted by 3 beautiful ladies who all helped my daughter and I pick out and try on several colorful hanboks. Although my Korean is limited to only 10 words I was glad that I was able to communicate what I wanted and needed plus these ladies spoke good English. I was happy that we could all understand each other. They helped us find the perfect one! We even bought norigae, a pink coin purse and two pairs of the flower shoes. I forgot to ask if they have any white beoseon socks. Mrs. Yang (and the other ladies) was so kind and sweet to us. She will hem my daughter's hanbok and I can't wait to pick it up in a few weeks! I'll post pics after the birthday party next month. read more

My non-Korean friends had the most fun during the Korean paebaek. For the setup, breakdown, renting of hanbok and dressing you, Mizland provides all of this: the convenience was nice though there are other vendors from Koreatown in LA that do the same. However, I would say the service during the ceremony was very unpolite and unprofessional. When we first started and my mom sat down, she asked my mom if we had tip money ready. She didn't guide us through the proper sitting or allowing us to pour the Korean wine. I felt rushed even though we limited it to our parents and not extended relatives. And all of my Korean relatives noticed my hat not being properly sized. In the end, I wanted to give an unique experience for our guests which was accomplished. However, I personally was caught off guard by the poor service and feeling rushed. There are alternatives vendors in Koreatown LA that will also fly into the Bay. So you can keep those providers in mind for a great experience read more

We hired this vendor for the paebaek ceremony at our wedding, and I would strongly advise anyone planning one to look elsewhere. After an extensive search, she was the only option in town, which is the only reason we booked her. Having read previous negative reviews on Yelp, I arranged for my cousin and sister to MC the ceremony, and she and her son were told numerous times that they would not be involved in the ceremony itself. Problems started a couple of hours before the event. She tried to change the setup location at the last minute because of the hot weather, and rather than contacting our wedding coordinator with her concerns, she repeatedly called my mother, putting a lot of unnecessary stress on her. Shortly before the ceremony, water spilled onto some of the cushions, and my cousin tried to swap them so our parents would be comfortable. The cushions were all identical, yet the vendor wouldn't allow it. She argued with my cousin and aunt in front of everyone and started pulling chairs from the seating area while our guests were already there. Rearranging our seating was clearly not her role, and it still baffles me that she thought it was appropriate. Then, during the ceremony, despite everything we had made clear beforehand, she walked up to the table and interrupted to tell my aunt she wasn't pouring correctly. My parents and I had to stop and ask her, in front of all 240 of our guests, to please leave and let us handle it. It was awkward and uncomfortable, and not how anyone wants to remember their wedding. After the ceremony, while we were changing, we heard she was walking through our cocktail hour looking for my mom and demanding payment. Her behavior was unprofessional, disrespectful, and added stress to what should have been one of the happiest days of our lives. The way she treated our family was unacceptable. She and her son should be embarrassed by how they conducted themselves at our wedding. If you're planning a paebaek, find another vendor or consider bringing in someone from out of town. If I could do it again, I would rather not do the paebaek at all than hire her. read more

I've been here twice now. I thought my son's and daughter's outfits here when they were very young. At the time and still to this day there are no other options in the area for traditional children hanboks. I begrudgingly bought the extremely overpriced outfits from here. I went to buy another hanbok recently and the owner had zero customer service. She was rude and unhelpful. Sadly I wanted to give her business instead of Amazon but not after the horrible experience I had with her. I'll never return. And I would never recommend this store to any of my Korean friends. read more

We recently used the Mizzland service for the PaeBaek (Korean Tea Ceremony) for our wedding day. This place started off okay, but overall, they are lucky that they do not have much competition in the Bay Area. They seemed very polite and friendly at first and was responsive when initially trying to plan out the day. However, many things did not align on the day of the wedding. First and foremost, we had asked them if they would have a translator or be able to communicate the events of the PaeBaek clearly with our guests, as many have seen this for the first time. We had asked if they would need a mic for this so that we could have one ready for them. They said, yes and that they would be able to do that for us. However, on the day of, they didn't communicate with our guests at all and rather our MC had to step in and guess what was going on and gather information from the family members. Then, at the start of the wedding, the lady mentioned that the current format of the floorpan, with the sweetheart table being closer to the center of the dance floor, would not permit them to set up the ceremony so that all the guests could see. So we had discussed with them moving the sweetheart table back against the wall so that there would be more room for the ceremony. She mentioned that would be plenty of room and still proceeded to set up the ceremony in the wrong direction, even after giving them more room. In the end, without having enough time to move everything how we would want it, we proceeded as is with my wife's entire family not being able to see what was going on. This really broke our hearts. After the ceremony was completed and the vendor was ready to leave, we were getting ready to pay them for their service. We gave them an additional tip of roughly 8% as we thought this was extremely generous. However, they complained and made a snarky comment stating that normally folks will pay 2-3 times what we had tipped. I definitely would have tipped a little bit more assuming everything went well, but we are still upset about the way they went about it. Lastly, when we received all of our photographs and videos, we noticed that the lady assisting us with the ceremony was in every picture. We really didn't feel like she needed to be in almost any of the photos as we understood her perfectly. We assumed she was experienced and would have known to position herself better or to try to stay out of the picture a bit but there are even some pictures where she is covering much of the bride and groom. She also rushed through much of the ceremony and was very rude when speaking to us. Overall, if you need a service for PaeBaek, I personally wasn't able to find much in the Bay and don't know how the others conduct their business. So this may be your best option... but just keep your expectations low and try to find a way to get them to not do what they did for us. We legitately loved all of our other vendors but this one just didn't cut it for us and we felt like we had wasted some money going through them. read more

Warning: THIS IS AN INSANELY LONG POST - BUT TOTALLY WORTH IT IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR AN AFFORDABLE PAEBAEK VENDOR IN THE BAY AREA! **I'll come back to add better resolution photos!** I highly recommend this place if you're looking for a vendor who can help prepare your Paebaek (Korean tea ceremony). This past April, my now-husband and I wanted to do both tea ceremonies for our families - a Vietnamese/Chinese one in the morning and a Korean one in the evening during the dinner reception. There are not a lot of Paebaek options in the Bay Area and this one is not as well known as it should be. I heard about this place from my mom who frequented this store and was familiar with the owner, Mrs. Yang. Before the Paebaek, my mom, my husband and I went to the shop and had an informal meeting about how things would go. She went through the schedule of events, how long it would take, what props and decor would be provided, which order of family members on both sides would be participating, and we also got to try on the traditional hanboks. She let us choose which traditional hanbok we would be wearing underneath the wedding ceremony garments (you'll see in the pictures!). Because my husband is not Korean, and those in attendance at our reception and the MC was not Korean, Mrs. Yang's son was very gracious to email us a detailed powerpoint of exactly what would be taking place each step of the way. This gave us material for the MC to speak to the audience while we were performing the ceremony, so that everyone knew what was going on and what it meant in Korean culture. The day of, Mrs. Yang and her two assistants (One gentleman who helped set up the ceremony and another lady who assisted Mrs. Yang and us into our clothes and throughout the ceremony). Both Mrs. Yang and her assistant were also dressed in Korean hanboks as well, which helped bring a true traditional ambiance! They came prepared with all the rentals and decor that would be needed. All we had to do was make sure we had a 12'x12' space large enough for the ceremony (if you have a small stage, that would work too!). We planned for this space in the middle of the restaurant surrounded by the dinner reception tables. Mrs. Yang and her assistant worked together to help my husband and I into our traditional hanboks so that we could hang out with our guests before the reception and take pictures. Once everyone was settled in, we went back to the changing room to be further assisted with the wedding garments and hairpieces that would be needed for the traditional wedding attire. The patience Mrs. Yang provided, even when we had guests who arrived a bit late, really helped to ease our nerves and to enjoy ourselves in the moment. I can confidently say the Korean tea ceremony was a HUGE HIT for both our families, everyone was so entertained and it was honestly a wonderful way to bring both our families cultures together, and to showcase my Korean traditions to my husband's family. IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT! The dates and chestnut toss (to wish you lots of children), the passing of the tea, the sharing of the date with your husband, the piggyback ride at the end of the ceremony -- it was a truly fun experience. Mrs. Yang was right beside us, talking us through the ceremony and each step. After the ceremony, as the food for the reception was coming out, she went back to the dressing room to help us out of our clothes. All the food items on the Paebaek table, Mrs. Yang left for our families to enjoy during the rest of the evening and her team did a superb job tidying up and heading out. To break it down further: Here's what you will need: 1. Book your Paebaek with Mrs. Yang - all the rentals will be provided 2. Have a family member/MC to comment and guide the audience along with the ceremony (if you have two different languages, a Korean translator would be helpful!) (She does not provide sound equipment, but we used a mic and some standard speakers for our MC) 3. You will need about a 12ftx12ft space, or a stage so everyone can see 4. A changing room for you and your spouse to be assisted when changing I was hesitant at first to do a Paebaek ceremony because there just weren't enough vendors to choose from in the Bay Area. I was SO RELIEVED my mom introduced me to Mizzland's Mrs. Yang. She was truly a remarkable planner and it was everything I wanted in a Paebaek. To this day, months later, my family and friends still talk about how wonderful it was to witness a Korean tea ceremony! Thank you so much, Mizzland! HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Grab your best Korean-speaking family/friend and head over to plan your Paebaek! read more

I really loved this place. We got a whole set of hanboks for me, my wife, and son. It's an old school shop for hanboks. It's cluttered in a nice, nostalgic way. The owner is enthusiastic but not too pushy. The pricing is fair. They don't have a lot of inventory in stock, but have enough things to try on that you'll be able to order with confidence. It'll take some time to take delivery, so just plan ahead! read more

Mizland - Baek-il hanbok for a boy. - Women's Clothing Near Me - Santa Clara, California

Very old and cluttered shop. Twice I called to ask about the hanbok selection and was assured there is a wide selection. When in store, nothing was hung out for display and salespeople were very reluctant to show stock. What they would pull out was a HUGE disappointment. Don't waste your time. read more

We used Mizland to hold a paebaeck ceremony during our wedding reception. My husband and I both don't speak Korean and I can barely understand Korean and yet they all made us feel really comfortable and helped us and our families carry out the paebaeck smoothly. It was such a fun experience to share that with our family and friends. They definitely helped us to make our wedding feel super special and we will always remember wearing the traditional Korean hanboks and carrying out all the special traditions fondly. read more

My family and guests really enjoyed the paebaek ceremony. Since my husband and I had eloped, this was nice to do since it included the family's participation. I was actually very tired from work and organizing the last minute details of the reception so I misunderstood Ms. Yang's instruction the day before the big day. It was my fault. However, Ms. Yang was able to accommodate my schedule and we worked things out, which I thoroughly appreciated! My guests enjoyed the ricecake and snacks, too. Really glad we were able to have a paebaek ceremony. =) read more
