New Tibetan Gift Shop Opens In SquareBy Katherine M. SavareseTheCrimson.com

The Dekey Tibet Shop opens its doors on Bow Street in the location that formerly housed the video rental store Quick Flix.

Vacant since the closure of Quick Flix video rental last March, 8 Bow St. became home to Harvard Square’s newest store last Friday with the opening of Dekey Tibet Shop.

According to owner Tsering Dickey, the shop has been in the works since July. Although she is still in the process of receiving and organizing merchandise, the store is now officially open for business.

A native of Tibet, Dickey has lived in Boston for over 15 years but has never owned or opened a store before.

“I don’t have any experience,” she said. “My husband has been helping me a lot.”

Decorated with colorful flags and proverbs, Dekey Tibet Shop offers a wide variety of silver and turquoise jewelry from India, as well as hand-sewn bags, hats, scarves, and sweaters from India and Nepal.
