What the knot cap is

ONGO’s official shop lists knot caps alongside bags and other accessories. The brand’s phrase is “OLD THINGS NEVER DIE” (ONGO’s official shop). On a cap, the knot sits at the back, bringing a traditional craft into something you can wear on an ordinary day.

The Seoul My Soul range

The shop also lists a Seoul My Soul range, using the city’s brand name. It includes Flower Knot, Ribbon and Belt caps. These are different designs, so look at the back and fastening of the model you want.

As of September 15, 2026, the shop listed the black Flower Knot Cap at ₩49,000 and marked it sold out. The Belt Cap listings were marked pre-order at ₩63,000. That is a snapshot, not a promise of stock or a delivery date (Flower Knot Cap product page).
