From HovdTravel
[edit] Kazakh Embroidery Shop
The Kazakh Embroidery Shop in Hovd is a great place to buy Kazakh embroidered goods. There are two local women who make and sell these colorful, exquisitely detailed items: Marima (mobile 99438849) and Berdigul (mobile 99435284 / home 0143222586), together they run the Kazakh Embroidery Shop. Their workshop makes everything from traditional wall hangings to purses, traditional Kazakh men's hats, pillowcases, and felt carpets. The purses and pillow cases are made with old Kazakh wall hangings so the colors are more subdued to fit the tastes of foreigners. Both Marima and Berdigul are very friendly and speak fantastic English. The building is located on the main road, if you are at the square facing the theater turn right and walk down the right side of the street. You will see the shop's sign just past the apartment building, it is painted in English on the side of the shop.
