Confused what to shop for in Mumbai and how? Let us guide you through the shopping maze that is Mumbai. Here are our top tips for an enjoyable and fulfilling shopping experience in the city.
- If you’re a tourist, don’t forget to take home great Indian souvenirs, for your friends, family and colleagues. These souvenirs can range from kolhapuri chappals (slippers), to simple yet authentic saris, to trinkets and jewellery.
- If you’re here from another town, don’t forget to pay a visit to Mumbai’s bazaars and markets, and well-known Mumbai malls that stock the latest collections of Indian and western brands. These are of the highest quality and will be a great addition to your shopping.
- When buying jewellery, make sure what you’re buying is as authentic as the salesman claims it to be.
- Mumbai shops offer great discounts and offers during certain seasons. The onset of the monsoon is a great time to hunt for great bargains, as well as just before the festive Diwali season, and early January.
- Love to bargain? Head to Mumbai’s famous shopping streets and markets where you can bargain to your heart’s content. Be warned: Mumbai shopkeepers are astute, so make sure you know the product’s right value. At the same time, if you come across something unique, don’t let it slip from your hands for a few rupees, or you will regret it later.
