    The shop in Masham.

    A second-hand cashmere business in Masham opened its new shop this week.

    Nearly New Cashmere Co. spent four years trading on Leyburn Road but has now opened a bigger site on Common Head Lane.

    The company, which launched in 2015, said it was "in desperate need for new premises" following a successful year of trade.

    It has become the UK’s largest selection of second-hand cashmere products and has reworked 20,000 cashmere items in 2023.

    The brand sells a range of restored cashmere jumpers, accessories, and vintage silk scarves too.



    It also offers a care service where customers can take their cashmere to be repaired or washed.

    Founder, Ali Orr, began selling cashmere at stalls and fairs before establishing a retail and online presence. She said:





    "It’s important to me that Nearly New Cashmere Co. is an advocate for rural enterprise and growth.
    "A significant part of our growth so far can be attributed to our investment in local people. We’re excited to celebrate the next step with our immediate team and our community.”






    Nearly New Cashmere Co. is open Wednesday – Saturday, from 10am – 4.30pm.
