The Gobi Factory Store in Ulaanbaatar is a useful stop for travellers interested in Mongolian cashmere. You can browse clothing and gifts, compare fabrics and sizes, and learn more about caring for the pieces you choose.
Where is the Gobi Factory Store?
GOBI’s official store directory lists the factory store on Industrial Street in Khan-Uul District. This is a different location from the Galleria Ulaanbaatar branch near the Government Palace, so confirm which shop you want before setting off.
What to look for when shopping
- Compare the fibre composition, feel and fit of different garments.
- Check the care label and ask staff how to wash and store your purchase.
- Try on clothing where possible; sizing can vary between styles.
- Keep your receipt and ask about exchanges before paying.
Scarves and smaller accessories can be practical gifts when you are unsure of someone’s clothing size. Choose according to the recipient’s needs rather than assuming that the most expensive item is the best option.
Does shopping include a factory tour?
A store visit does not automatically include access to the production floor. If you would like to see cashmere manufacturing, ask GOBI directly whether visits are offered, whether advance booking is needed and what restrictions apply. Do not plan around an unconfirmed factory-tour time.
Getting there and planning your day
Allow for Ulaanbaatar traffic, especially if you have a flight or another booking afterwards. See our Ulaanbaatar taxi guide for transport planning, or combine shopping with ideas from our Mongolia travel guide.
Check the official GOBI store directory for the current address, opening hours and contact details. For help fitting a shopping stop into your itinerary, contact Central Mongolia Tour.
