Description:
Tiger Tiger has been engaged in importing quality rugs, beads, Dharma items, and handicrafts from the Himalayas and Southeast Asia since 1992. We seek out unusual, rare and unique items from Nepal, Burma, Thailand, and Laos, to name just some of the countries we visit.

The Birth of Tiger Tiger
Along with my partner and best friend, we headed to Hong Kong. After a few trips to Thailand, Nepal and surrounding countries, Tiger Tiger was born. Susan and Matthew put together something greater than themselves, bringing in everything from textiles, clothes, singing bowls, Buddhist artifacts, other oddities, as well as beads. Early on Matthew took an interest in stone beads from Asia --dZi, Pumtek and other decorated agate beads. Matthew and Susan** became a fixture at Gift Shows and Bead Society Bazaars.
