Masham cashmere business unveils new store
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:
Nearly New Cashmere Co. is open Wednesday – Saturday, from 10am – 4.30pm.
