Himalayan Collection

I had to write a review on this amazing shop because I can’t get the experience out of my head. The owner is a sweet and amazing woman who doesn’t hover yet offers great advice and commentary when it comes to the the things she carries. The clothing in her store is so beautiful and unique. She sales prayer flags and so many other things. The main thing that I loved about this store was that she took the time to explain things to us, such as what items helped with certain chakras. I can’t wait until I get paid so that I can come back! Her great customer service has earned her a life long patron. If you’re ever in the area I suggest you swing by!

One of my wife’s favorite small businesses. We meet friends for lunch about once a month in Claremont, and Himalayan Connection is right across the street.
A sizable portion of her Ganesha collection has come from this store.
She wasn’t able to meet our friends today, so I did a bit of advance shopping for her birthday in April.
The owner is very pleasant and helpful, and is a great source of information.

Such a great store. The owner is so sweet and lets you peruse at your leisure. I love looking through the clothes and all the trinkets, and they have really really pretty scarves for only $ 10 each, so it is hard to choose just one.

I was drawn in by the Tibetan prayer flags. I’ve always wanted some and I’m unfortunately not going to Tibet any time soon. The store itself is small, but there’s a lot of merchandise to peruse and choose from. The front window was stocked with statues of all sizes (Buddha, Vishnu, Ganesh, etc.) and incense holders. There’s jewelry by the cash register for both me and women. There’s a ton of clothes, I believe it’s all women’s clothes though. I found my flags and they had at least three different sizes. I went with the large because I don’t have a lot of space to cover. For $ 10 you get 25 flags. Service was great and the shop smelled amazing!

I would not go here if I were you! It’s true that everything in the store is from India/​Nepal– but the owners refuse to tell you exactly how they get their merchandise. Thousands of people around this part of the world are forced to produce products for Asia/​Europe/​America as slaves in prisons and sweat shops for mere pennies (many imprisoned are there because of their religious/​political beliefs)! I called Himalayan Collection and asked where they got their merchandise, just as a curious customer. The woman got extremely defensive and asked why I wanted to know, who was I, and was I the person who called earlier? she never did tell me where it came from, she just sort of mentioned some «factory.» Don’t get sold into supporting oppression! The stuff in there is really cute, but questionable– if you want great stuff handmade from other countries that actually supports real people, go to Heavenly Treasures on Foothill Blvd. in Glendora!

The owners are super nice and helpful when you walk in their store. I love coming here and seeing what they have. All of their clothes and items are amazing and very colorful, not to mention they have a lot of incense! All of them smell really good and they have my favorite NAG CHAMPA! I recommend this store because mostly everything is from Napal and India. Go and visit their store, you will not be let down :0)
