If you only visit one boutique while in Yangon, make it this fair trade shop that opened in early 2012 and carries a variety of accessories, gifts and fashion whose proceeds directly benefit Myanmar artisans. The brainchild of several Yangon expats, the boutique partners with organizations whose work supports local initiatives such as healthcare, housing and education. Displayed in the bright, loft-like space above Monsoon restaurant you’ll find adorable children’s toys and clothes, as well as chic hand-sewn bags, textiles and small furniture. Open daily.

Upstairs from tchotchke-heavy Scott Market, this excellent small shop specializes in textiles from various ethnic groups, including the Chin who produce incredibly beautiful, heavy textiles made with natural dyes. There are vintage pieces as well as other ethnic crafts, like jewelry and accessories. The owner, a native of the Chin state, is incredibly knowledgeable helping customers select among these truly special wares.
