Friendly Pashmina Export

Reviewed By 668jasmind

Easy to find. It was the second shop I’ve been. I didn’t liked the material in the other one (high rated here in TA) so I decided to give this one a shot. Everybody was very nice and the shawls had all beautiful colour and the material was good. I left the shop with 3 shawls but wanted to buy a lot more!

If you are looking for high quality & affordable cashmere sweaters or scarfs this is the place to be! I have been to the shop in 2018 (before hiking my way up to ME basecamp as I had a day or two to spare, I went shopping all over Kathmandu and ended up buying most things here). After coming back home (Netherlands, Europe) I regretted not buying more. Having more spare time (due to Covid19), I went to search online and found the shop I visited in 2018! At first I was a bit hesitant about ordering online and wiring money, but the shop owner Keshab assured me that it would be fine. Everything went super smooth, DHL delivery was amazingly fast (1 week, quicker than the postal service in my country nowadays in Corona times). The sweaters are of high quality. The one I bought in 2018 I wear endlessly in winter. This time I bought a few different colors and a scarf. On top of that I got a present scarf from the shop owner! I highly recommend this shop! Ps. Don’t forget to check your country’s import duties!

Have you ever wondered whose hands made those souvenirs in Katmandou tourist shops ? At Local Women's Handicraft, you can buy responsibly and empower local nepalese women ! I really appreciate the time that Sahin took to explain me the artisanal and ethnical production process. I definitely recommend this place :)
