Welcome to the National Handicrafts Emporium in Thimphu, where you can shop your way through Bhutanese culture without needing a PhD in textile arts! This state-run showroom operates in four cities, managed by the National Women’s Association of Bhutan under the royal watch of Her Royal Highness Ashi Sonam Choden Wangchuk. 

Here, you’ll find everything from hand-woven fabrics that could double as stylish blankets for those chilly Bhutan nights, to wooden masks that might just scare your friends at home!

The emporium doesn’t just showcase fabulous handicrafts; it also supports local artisans and keeps Bhutan’s unique traditions alive. The late King Jigme Dorji Wangchuck recognized the cottage industry’s vital role in the economy and pushed for measures to preserve these artistic gems.
