Our Story — The Love Behind STORY 1961
Happiness means: love yourself! We are Ira & Andy Wahl, born in 1961, and since childhood in boarding school, we've been inseparable. In 2004, we took a leap of faith to transform our LOVE STORY into a brand.
From Marbella to Nepal — Where STORY 1961 Began
Everything started in 2004 in Marbella, Spain, as a small family business exclusively selling pashminas. Over time, we dreamed of creating our own label, bringing high-end quality cashmere directly from Nepal — the land where cashmere craftsmanship is part of everyday life.
Thanks to the loyalty of our customers, our dream became a success. Today, STORY 1961 offers luxury cashmere pashminas and shawls, handcrafted in Nepal and designed for women who value timeless elegance.
Our Passion — Accessories That Tell a Story
Fashion is our passion. We believe in turning a beloved outfit into something fresh and stylish with just one perfect accessory.
That's why we keep looking for exclusive accessories from young designers, pieces crafted with love and care. Each creation adds to our unique STORY 1961 look, blending handcrafted cashmere, European design, and Nepalese heritage.
More Than a Brand — A Family
Over the years, many of our clients have become like family. We love sharing our
journey, life moments and discoveries with you — from behind-the-scenes stories to new arrivals.
