Mongolia /mɒŋˈɡoʊliə/ ( listen) (Monggol Ulus in Mongolian; Монгол Улс in Mongolian Cyrillic) is a landlocked unitary sovereign state in East Asia. Its area is roughly equivalent with the historical territory of Outer Mongolia, and that term is sometimes used to refer to the current state. It is sandwiched between China to the south and Russia to the north. Mongolia does not share a border with Kazakhstan, although only 37 kilometres (23 mi) separates them.

Fair & Ethicalr - supporting about 150 Mongolian & ethnic Kazakh artisans from all over Mongolia. From the most simple product to the most high end QUALITY is key. Artisans and Mary & Martha make a sustainable living and customers buy quality, useful products at reasonable prices. We are the only shop that buys all its products before we sell because we want to be fair to artisans and we believe in the products - all other shops pay artisans if their products sell. New branch in Orgil at the Terelj turn on the Nalaikh highway.
There are quality, fairly-priced souvenirs both large and small, all skilfully handcrafted by local artisans, so by purchasing their goods, you are really helping to support and empower the local community. I left with a stunningly elegant bag made by a Kazakh artisan and a gorgeously colourful zip pouch upcycled from decorative wall hangings. I also had the most wonderful conversation with the founder/owner Irene and learned a lot from her, and found the rest of the staff all very beautiful and kind. My visit to Mary & Martha truly left a smile on my face, and I could not recommend them highly enough.

I visited other shops including the main Gobi store downtown. Cashmere is expensive, face it and get over it. However, the outlet store is cheaper. I had the good luck to make it to the annual Black Friday sale in November. It goes on the whole month. Everything was at least 20% off up to 70% off. Scarves were down from $40 (American) to $18. I decided that instead of a lap blanket I would get a shawl instead. Then I could use it on my legs in winter, or as a shawl in the warmer seasons. I bought three scarves, a shawl, and a cardigan sweater for half what I would have paid normally. The outlet store is normally cheaper year round anyway. If you are looking to buy Cashmere products when you visit, try here first. It is a huge store and has everything, coats sweaters, accessories such as hats and gloves, etc.

This is an expansive outdoor market known to the locals as the black market. It is perfect if you haven’t quite got all your gear together for a cold Mongolian winter. There are traditional Mongolian clothes here as well. A four storey mall also has things to buy and a food court if you need to get out of the cold.
