What is Kapra Hiska? It's simply the best cashmere store I have ever visited. Their scarves are simply sublime -- light, airy and drenched in color. The first time I felt one of their scarves, I thought I was touching the rare (and illegal) shahtoosh (the ultra-fine cashmere once prized by Persian princes for its warmth and ability to slip through a ring). The owner promised me the cashmere was not shahtoosh, but a very refined cashmere from Mongolia!
Indescribable softness, gorgeous colors and light as air -- what more could you want from a cashmere scarf? How about a great price? Say half of the price of an iPhone 5! And when your iPhone bites the dust, this scarf will still be with you. A great investment and well worth a trip to Le Marais when you're in Paris.
P.S. I believe the store is relatively new (so new I could not find a website, just a Facebook page), so I am unsure of its capabilities of selling outside of the EU. However, email them to see if they can or where they may be sold outside of Paris. Their email is kaprahiska@gmail.com .

Walking past Kapra Hiska 12 months ago and not having time to stop was a 'moment in time' to savour and remember. Luckily that moment arrived very recently with my return to Paris and what a pleasure to indulge in one of their light-as-a-feather multicoloured scarves and a beautiful and useful cardigan. Kapra Hiska has star quality products, attentive staff and best cashmere I've found. Comments above say it all better than I can. Worth a trip to Paris.
