The tiger has long been regarded as one of the most powerful protective symbols in Korean tradition. Appearing in Joseon-era folk paintings (minhwa), royal embroidery, and guardian imagery, the tiger was believed to ward off evil spirits and protect human spaces, standing as a guardian of mountains and the natural world. Unlike ferocious depictions elsewhere in Asia, the Korean tiger often embodies restrained strength—alert, dignified, and quietly formidable
Vuloiré’s Tiger charm reinterprets this guardian figure through a stylized, forward-moving form carved in natural nacre. The tiger motif is drawn directly from the embroidery developed for Look #9 of the Haute Heritage collection, where its form was first articulated through traditional stitching. The surface is patterned with rhythmic striations drawn from traditional embroidery, where stylized striping signified vigilance, authority, and disciplined guardianship.
Created exclusively in connection with Vuloiré’s 2026 Haute Heritage Collection, the Tiger charm is conceived as a modern protective talisman grounded in the tradition of disciplined guardianship. Designed to be carried daily, it represents vigilance, authority, and restrained strength—the quiet confidence of a force that protects without spectacle.
Avoid storing or using the product near high temperatures, direct sunlight, or heating devices. Due to the nature of resin and mother-of-pearl, strong impact, scratches, or drops may cause damage. Keep away from water, perfume, alcohol, oils, and other chemical substances, as they may cause discoloration, cloudiness, or cracking. Prolonged contact with clothing, leather, or light-colored fabrics may cause staining or marks due to friction. The velvet ribbon is sensitive to moisture and dirt; if it becomes wet, gently blot with a soft cloth and allow it to air-dry naturally. Keep out of reach of children and pets. Minor air bubbles or texture variations on the resin surface are natural characteristics of the handmade process and not defects.
