About The Pashmina Store:
Established in 2003 by Blair Rhodes, The Pashmina Store website was born with the idea of going direct to the consumer to keep prices low and reach as wide an audience as possible. In early 2000, the family visited Nepal, and developed a great appreciation for Pashminas. Seeing firsthand the care and tradition that goes into the making of Pashmina goods, they developed a desire to share them with as many people as possible. Blair’s mother, Charlene, started out doing “Pashmina Parties.” The Pashmina Store offers affordable prices on top quality pashmina and cashmere goods and free standard shipping in the United States.
