Historically, women of high social backgrounds and kisaeng wore gache, with larger and heavier wigs considered to be more aesthetically pleasing. Certain decorations were reserved for royalty. They were decorated with silk objects, gold, jewels, silver, coral, jade, and other expensive materials. Historically, gache were expensive accessories worn only by women of high social standing, alongside kisaeng.
The gache ( Korean: 가체 Hanja: 加髢) is a traditional Korean wig worn by women.
