THE CRAFT
SHOP
We are proud to carry fine quality, handmade Tibetan crafts, including ethnic jewelry, Buddhist meditation and dharma products, Tibetan rugs and decor, quality photographic prints from Tibet and much more.
We
offer the finest in modern and traditional handicrafts from Tibet, Nepal
& India, whenever possible made by Tibetan
artisans, and almost always from family-run businesses. We strongly believe in supporting artisans and craftspeople who help to keep alive traditional Tibetan craft. We are committed to buying ethically from small business people who pay their workers a living wage. We also give back to organizations that support our rich Tibetan culture and fight for Tibetan independence, such as Students for a Free Tibet. For more about our buying practices please see About Us.
We carry no merchandise made in China, as we don't
support the government that has so brutally repressed
Tibetans since the 1950s. If you wish to learn
more about Tibet and China, please see About Tibet
and Links.
Our
Greenwich Village shop at 167 Thompson Street,
