You can buy trendy clothes that are the rage in many fashion capitals of the world at almost one-tenth the price (these are export surplus material) at Fashion Street. Or get good Indian Handicrafts at any of the state handicrafts emporia at reasonable price and good quality. You can also buy top quality suits, trousers, shirts,etc. from reputed Indian brands like Park Avenue and Vivaldi or international ones like Van Heusen, Allen Solly or Arrow at much lesser prices than you get in other parts of the world.
