Where to buy Cashmere (in london ideally)

Noto · 12 Sep 2011 at 10:19

Where's the best place to buy a Scottish patterned cashmere shawl ideally in london or milton keynes (excluding the shops on oxford street and such as i am sure those cater for tourists and hike up the prices a lil more).

thx in adv

If i remember, there's a cashmere shop on the strand which was quite reasonable, on the south side.

found it, but they are closed every saturday ¬_¬ so strange guess not many tourists down that end. Might be quite cheap then

fingers crossed for shawls!

ZZZ 0/10 - only places i know are in touristy locations and i actually wanna see the garment before buying. And since im not a russian oligarch i cant afford to pay £70-150 for a scarf let alone £200+ for a shawl.
