We have all heard the tales of the mysteriously luxurious fiber that is cashmere; some of you out there may even own some of your own and know firsthand why it’s one of the most expensive fabrics in the world. For those who don’t, it’s sheared from the wool of the cashmere goat, originally native to Asia. This long sought-after rarity is known to be softer and finer than other wools yet is also stronger than what you will typically find. An entire store dedicated to this sought-after fiber is quite impressive! You will find a variety of clothing items ranging from women’s sweaters, ponchos, tank tops and dresses to men’s sweaters and hoodies.
Not only this, but you’ll also find a variety of throw blankets, jewelry, candles, and tea leaves for sale as well. Finally, to add to the rather luxurious feel this Telluride shop has, they only take in items that are knitted with 100% Scottish cashmere yarn. However, if you find yourself reading this and just can’t wait to own one of these lush items, fear not, for they even offer to ship your new item! Come and experience a true slice of luxury and beauty with CashmereRED, and maybe even own your own cashmere item to show off to your friends.

There are two different types of book lovers in this world: those who love to read the books they buy, and those who love to collect books for what they stand for and symbolize. No matter which of the two you are, you are sure to find a home at Between the Covers Bookstore! This small local bookstore somehow manages to have every genre of book you can imagine, from adorable life lesson teaching kids’ books to somber adventure-filled young adults to suspenseful soul gripping thriller to curious and intellectually stimulating mystery and everything in between. However, not only do they offer this wide selection of books, but the non-readers in your group will also still be able to peruse and enjoy their selection of non-book items.
These range from cards to blank journals, posters, magazines, games and much more! As well, make sure you check their events page, as they tend to have several different events going on ranging from local authors to book signings to poetry clubs to a monthly book club! Make sure you stay and grab a cup of coffee at Bruno; after all, what better way to start a new book than to sit warmed by the roasty aromas of your coffee before you? So, during your stay with us, make sure you check out Between the Covers Bookstore and enjoy the now almost nostalgic feeling of perusing a bookstore.
It is fairly safe to say most people enjoy chocolate. Here, you won’t find your typical factory-made chocolate bar, but rather chocolate that truly shows why so many people fall in love with this delicate treat. Whether you are a lover and indifferent, have the chance to taste chocolate that is truly made with love and devotion at Telluride Truffle Artisan Chocolate! These chocolate connoisseurs not only make delectable truffles and chocolates, but even offer a variety of gift boxes for those special occasions which require a special little something extra.
