Whether you are shopping for a designer label, a branded product or local made stuff, you will find shopping in Mumbai a fascinating experience, be it in air-conditioned malls or on roadside stalls bargaining to the best of your ability. Mumbai is India's great market place where you can get what you want- Maharashtrian brassware, Rajasthani dolls or environmentally friendly goods.

Shopping in Mumbai is a memorable experience as one wanders through its bazaars with charming names like Chor Bazar, Mutton Street and Zaveri Bazar.Chor Bazaar is believed to have the original name Shor Bazaar or the Noisy Market, that aptly described the yelling and shouting of the local traders on Mutton Street while selling their second hand house hold goods. Today, it is a bustling market selling a range of new and old furniture, antiques, jewellery, wooden articles, leatherwear and other curios. Mutton St in Chor Bazaar specializes in antiques, ingenious reproductions and miscellaneous junk. Crawford market is famous for flowers, fruits, meat and fish. Zaveri Bazaar is the main retail centers for gold and diamonds, and nearby Pydhoni for silver. It has excellent jewellery that has international quality ranging from simple glass bangles and classical necklaces to ornate folk art and elaborate costume jewellery. One may also find a cluster of up market boutiques in Om Chambers at Kemp's Corner and a series of showrooms on Hughes Rd., just behind Chowpatty Beach. Islamic attar (essential oil) perfume shops are found scattered along Mohammed Ali Rd, clustered in Bhendi, Null and Zaveri Bazaars. Colaba and Flora Fountain (Hutatama Chowk) in the heart of South Mumbai is famous for ethnic artifacts and departmental stores. People looking for cheap clothes frequent Fashion Street. Bandra, the so-called Queen of Suburbs, is the residential abode of the who's who of Mumbai's Bollywood stars, industrialists and the likes. Bandra's Linking Rd is worth a stroll, though the clothes here tend to be familiar western labels rather than local designs.
