I bought a lovely ring on the canal, the lady who owned the shop/stall said that the council had put up the rents sooo much this year , they were finding it hard to survive. She did say that they had made a nice job of the stalls, adding air con, nice flooring??but I hope it doesn't drive everyone out of buisness.

I much prefered the stalls on the canal before they were revamped !

Me too .... we've just got back and it seems to have lost its atmosphere a little, the shops and stalls are too restricted.

Hope the Pashmina people are still there with the stall next to the Venice Only place we ever shop is on the canal used to love the little stalls there

Yeah the Pashmina people are still there on the canal! There are soooo many colours and the quality is really good! I bought a few 3 years ago and they wash so nice. The size of them are huge too, you could pay a fortune for something like that in England.

Hi Fendi, I got some last year but wanted more this year, i got my friend one who took it to Egypt and she was offered 4 of there pashminas and money for it over there, glad they still there such lovely people thanks for your reply

I've bought loads for Christmas and birthday presents - people say you should have spent so much - depending on who they are I say I didn't or well it's only once a year

But they do wash well and they always look new

Shame about stalls think it is all this new legislation - won't do much good if the stall holders go out of business though will it?

Being nosey here
how much would you pay for a pashmina on the canal?

On a different note, my daughters (teenagers) were told to get out of the jewelry stall, (the very last one going away from the beach, on the Majestic side) they thought the owner was joking but he definately wasn't. Anyway it was his look out they both spent £12 on two lovely silver rings further down. How rude - my girls are not lippy and wouldn't be rude to anyone.

Karen,
We paid £5 each for our pashminas last year,from the one next to the Venice.If you buy more,they give you a small discount.We found that theres were the best quality,and the peopple that own the stall are lovely.

Love me pashies,I do

Still love shopping on the canal, we found the stall owners were not bartering this year, and the pashmina people next the the venice have gone

oh NO!!! I was looking foeward to buying some, even thinking what colours to choose, can you recommend anyone else??? please

I bought my pashminas this year from a stall on the Majestic side of the canal,almost opposite a few blue phone boxes.its where the stalls are set back slightly before you get to the little mini market by the Majestic.I only paid 10 ytl each,which worked out about £4 at that time.They had all colours.
good Luck finding him on my directions

ha ha ha it's in the corner next to the handbag stall that juts out, just to confuse the issue even more
