Tsagaan Alt Wool Shop, Ulaanbaatar

If you’re looking for souvenirs that carry both beauty and meaning, Tsagaan Alt Wool Shop is a wonderful place to visit, specializing in Mongolian wool and products handcrafted by local artisans. Because it’s run on a non-profit basis, shopping here also supports small producers in rural areas.

Inside, you’ll find a wide range of merchandise: cozy slippers, children’s boots, toys, felt artwork, placemats, blankets, tapestry-style goods and more. The designs often combine traditional Mongolian motifs with modern touches. Many visitors praise the quality of the materials and craftsmanship, especially how warm and durable many of the wool items are.

Beyond just shopping, there is a cultural story here. Tsagaan Alt Wool Shop is tied to initiatives like the Wool Processing and Marketing Project by the Norwegian Lutheran Mission, which helps create employment for Mongolian artisans. Also, all the wool is sourced locally, and many pieces are made using traditional felting and dyeing techniques.
