Fabric
Not only can you buy humble cotton in Mumbai; you can also pick
up some exquisite fine wool, silk and synthetic fabric at a good
price. One can choose between Fabric Markets, where a large
array is available under one roof, or Fabric Stores. Check
out the silk and sari shops lining Maharshi Karve Road between
Churchgate and Marine Lines Station. Some of the major stores here
are Kala Niketan, Roop Milan, Roop Sangam,
Queens and Indian States. Exquisitely crafted lace
can be bought from Shamsheth Lane in Kalbadevi.

Mangaldas
Market
Across the road from the main Crawford market parking lot and 100
metres down Sheikh Memon Street is the Mangaldas Market. Here the
tiny shops are built on a raised platform, and shopkeepers sit comfortably
on gaddas (beds) placed on the floor. If you are looking for
a one-stop shop for fabric, Mangaldas Market is the place for you.
This huge indoor cloth market sells everything from suit fabric to
silk material. Most sell specific fabric. While one shop stocks only
silks, another has printed cotton and a third sells only synthetic
shirtings. |
