Project 1 has technically been “in the making” since 2020 — not because it took that long to design, but because... well life just got in the way. But now, after all this time, we finally get to share it with you.
The story actually goes back to 2015. Like many people, we started with the classic green Korean viscose exfoliating cloth — then the yellow one, then the pink one. They worked well, and honestly, we loved them. But keeping the glove on our hands while exfoliating? A struggle. It made the whole process feel awkward and, as a result, we exfoliated less than we wanted to.
So we tried the gloves with elastic bands. Better. Secure. But then we were buying two types: a gentler one for the face, and a rougher one for the body — and the cost stacked up quickly.
One day, mid-complaint to my parents, they said something so simple… “Why don’t you make a glove with two different sides?”
Two textures. One glove. Complete Care for the Body.
Simple. Genius. Obvious in hindsight.
And that moment is where Project 1 — and Dimply — truly began.
We didn’t just send the idea to a manufacturer and wait. We tested fabrics, experimented with materials, stitched together our own early prototypes (terribly, but proudly), and learned what worked by feeling it with our own hands.
Below are some of the photos from that journey — the beginning, the mess, the experiments, and the evolution that brought us here.
