DPARKS is not about loving what we offer but offering what you love! Be yourself. Unleash your flair. Change your look whenever you like by expressing your personality and uniqueness with endless exchangeable cases and limitless styles that represent who you are. Do you have something to say that cannot be expressed in words? Let your DPARKS case do the talking.
Our story began in 2012 in South Korea, with founder and CEO Park Su-yong dreaming of shaking up the phone case industry. The goal? To make phone cases that combine personal style and everyday practicality while letting people express themselves in almost infinite ways. By focusing on quality and creativity, DPARKS quickly became a favorite, turning phone cases into something more than just protection—a way to showcase your personality.
Today, DPARKS is a thriving brand across East Asia, with stores all across South Korea, including major hubs like Seoul and Busan.
In 2024, DPARKS teamed up with HONGDAE HOLDINGS Co. to open our North American headquarters in the US in New York City. Together, were building the next chapter of DPARKS, designing and producing iPhone cases with care, heart and soul in Gyeonggi-do.
Ah! And we pride ourselves on speaking many languages and giving everyone who wants it a voice. What would you like to say?
