Cashmere Carpets from Kashmir

By November 22, 2012 Shopping, Travel 2 Comments

This was not in the itinerary but there was a request for Cashmere shawls but we ended up in the Cashmere carpet section and spent 3 hours here!  It started off by them pulling us to the showroom and this guy, Haji, giving us a background on Cashmere carpets from Kashmir.  He is a good salesman! 🙂  They are beautiful silk and cashmere carpets, but again, know your prices and the value of carpets
