Shopping in Highlands NC and Cashiers NC

Robin’s Nest has long occupied a distinctive niche in Cashiers, appealing to shoppers who appreciate fashion, gifts, and home décor presented with an editor’s eye rather than a department-store approach

In Cashiers, where polished mountain style often leans predictable, Sashay Around has spent nearly five decades proving fashion can still surprise. Located inside an 80-year-old cottage just off the crossroads, the boutique blends sophistication with an ease that suits the Plateau’s rhythm. Owner Debi Stewart carries forward the vision established by her mother, Nancy Gay Townsend, who founded the store nearly five decades ago.
