About us

Welcome to tibet-markets.ch

We are Tibetans in exile. Switzerland has become our home. Tibet we have never let go. It lives in us, in our language, in our prayers and in the objects we have known since childhood.

tibet-markets.ch is our way of passing this heritage on. Not as a museum. Not as folklore. But as a living bridge between two worlds that we both know and love.

Our pieces are shaped by the hands of Tibetan craftspeople and local artisan families in the Himalayas, who keep a centuries-old tradition alive to this day. Every piece has an origin, a craft and a meaning. We know these stories because they are also our own story.

What makes us different:

• Carefully selected pieces directly from Tibetan craftspeople in the Himalayas
• Every piece with origin, symbolism and story
• Personal advice at our shop at Niederdorfstrasse 39 in Zurich
• Shipping across Switzerland and to a few other European countries
• A home for Tibetan culture in Zurich since 1993

My name is Tenzin. I am glad to accompany you on this path.

Where we come from and how it all began, you can read in our story.
