Tibet Emporium

Hidden jewel. Exceptional quality and selection of scarves. The artistry is legendary! An eclectic find - affordable luxury in Beacon Hill.

I've gone to this store over the years and I went in today looking to use a store credit to buy a bracelet. i was told rudely that I couldn't use it, no exceptions. I had asked about the types of stones for a few bracelets I was interested in and they replied with "I don't know.". lastly as I was leaving the store, the girl raised her voice for me to stop and said ." hey you are wearing our bracelets!" and started walking towards me. at which point I turned around and held up my wrist. she was correct, i was wearing two bodhi seed bracelets WHICH WERE MINE. I walked into the store with them on as I OWN them.

to the store owners: take caution with your accusatory tone of voice before you mistakenly accuse someone of shoplifting.

Best store ever! They have a lot of authentic Tibetan items straight from the Himalayas. Quality is top notch. A must visit for all!

This is a brightly colored jewel box of a store. It's slightly subterrannean as you have to walk down a couple of steps off Charles to enter. But once you're inside there's nothing underground about it. It feels colorful, bright and happy. You're struck immediately with all the beautiful colors of things.

Whenever I'm in here, I feel absolutely serene. It's so pleasant in here. It's never crowded and the people who work there are kind and accommodating.

You'll find an assortment of Tibetan and Indian goods including colorful wall hangings, Tibetan prayer wheels, all kinds of purses, meditation singing bowls, incense and holders, gorgeous clothes, jewelry and art cards. Some of the women's jackets, skirts and blouses are irresistably beautiful.

On this latest visit I was looking for a gift for one of my cousins. I almost immediately found a beautiful hand-made purse from Nepal, fashioned out of a really pretty silk fabric.

For my home meditation room I bought a rosemary and peppermint soy candle and another statue of Ganesha, this one hand-made out of metal.

The candle says that the peppermint and rosemary essential oils "will help create an uplifting and positive sacred space."
And Ganesha, the remover of obstacles has long been a favorite deity of mine.


I love this store, the people who work there, and the gorgeous
merchandise. The peaceful aura in there is a bonus.
It's great spot to get yourself something special and even a better place to find something special for someone else.

While this shop does seem to have lovely things, they don't seem to care at all about standing by their wares if something is amiss. I'd think twice about shopping here. I know I *never* will again. :(

I'd give this place zero stars but Yelp won't let me. I used to love this place. :( My fiance, now husband, bought me an inexpensive yet lovely peridot ring here, almost a decade ago. I adored the ring, and even though I took good care of it, after almost 10 years, it broke. He offered to replace it for me, as I had been very sentimental and attached to the ring. I though it best to return to Tibet Emporium. I remembered them having such a great selection. I felt certain we'd find a terrific and affordable new ring, to the replace the one I'd had for all these years. I found a similar style, although a bit more expensive, as silver isn't as affordable as it once was, and was quite happy with our purchase.

About 2 weeks later, despite treating the new ring with the same care as the first, one of the two triangular stones, popped out, and could not be found. I was so sad. Still I figured, since I'd only just gotten it maybe they'd help me. I brought the ring in today, only to be met with the *worst customer service* I've had in ages. They could only fix it if I had the stone. Fine, since I did not have the stone, would they offer me a replacement or a refund? No. As in too bad so sad, sorry we sold you a defective ring. Honestly a stone should not just fall out after two weeks of careful wear, unless there was something faulty about it's workmanship. I think they made a big mistake by not caring enough to offer me some better recompense. A decent store stands by it's merchandise, IMHO. To be clear, I'm fine with a ring breaking after nearly 10 years. That seems reasonable. Two weeks? No.

What makes me happy about this place is that you're seemingly shopping in "Beacon Hill" but you're getting a shop that is totally small-town.

These people are super friendly, accommodating to you bringing your dog along and they carry a decent selection of Eastern/Tibetan merch. I found the cutest scarf here and the cutest selection of earrings that are unlike the typical Boston store. Again, the not-in-a-city feel for me is clutch so if you appreciate the small-shop feel this place is for you.

Kudos to Charles St. for having a lil gem like this.

Stopped into this little shop to pick up buddhist peace flags. They had a great selection of products, beyond flags, including candles; incense; statues of Buddha and Ganesh; and jewelry. The staff were attentive though the language barrier made it hard to communicate. They understood exactly what I was looking for, but when I asked additional questions they didn't completely understand what I was saying. The benefit of that is the products are cleraly authentic and chosen with care.

Interesting store. I have to admit I have browsed in here but never bought anything. The store has a nice selection and quality of their merchandise seems very high.

Great place! Beautiful silk scarves, runners, pillow covers, clothing. Prices are extremely reasonable too. Though I live out of state, I will make a point to visit the Tibet Emporium every time I visit my niece in Boston.
