Of all the love, there\u2019s one that every woman understands,\u00a0love (of women) for street shopping.\u00a0Shopping on the streets can be quite a rewarding experience \u2013 the cries of vendors to check out their wares, the hard to strike deals, the heavy tolerance and perseverance for bargaining, customers talking over each other and the prevailing final word on the item bought. The colors and crowd (and price) catch our fancy \u2013 you\u2019re sure you can never only buy \u2018a thing or two\u2019 when you take to the streets for shopping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you want to\u00a0jazz your outfit the Indian way,\u00a0with the host of accessories they sell here, Bhuleshwar market would be the place for you.\u00a0They also stock saris (five to nine yards dress drape) and religious wares. Apart from the shopping, this area is a cultural experience in itself starting from its name (Bhule \u2013 to get lost, Eshwar \u2013 God)!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The mention of this place in a shopping article would be inevitable. Causeway has become synonymous for shopping as khau gallis have become for food. From books to clothes, bags to shoes, accessories to antiques, Colaba Causeway is the wonderland of every Alice (foreigner or local) \u2013 shopaholic, that is!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The effervescent textile market (in and out) near Crawford Market, is also home to street wares being sold in lanes surrounding it.\u00a0You will find a variety of things to take home here \u2013 clothes, footwear, utility items, gift articles etcetera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00a0The road right across the Crawford Market is also emerging as a shopping destination with stalls\u00a0selling clothes, shoes, bags, some antique items, and jewelry among other accessories. Throngs of people are usually directed here after picking up essentials at Crawford Market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The \u2018flea\u2019 market would be\u00a0alluring to the seekers of antique and vintage from junk.\u00a0The bylanes of the Bhendi Bazar in Mumbai house this shopping centre. You\u2019ll thank your stars for striking a deal in this market.\u00a0An allude to Chor Bazaar should also include the famous Jumma Bazaar \u2013 the special one which opens only on Friday before the crack of dawn selling a host of items ranging from clothes, electronics, accessories, toys, footwear \u2013\u00a0you name it and you shall find it in Jumma Bazaar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
