Ladies, these places should be well versed by you all. Now don’t think I’m stereotyping, but most of these markets sell women clothing and accessories. Let’s get started on how varies the Mumbai markets are. Here, right from a beautiful nose ring to a short skirt, you will find everything.
1. Colaba Causeway, Colaba
Colaba Causeway is by far the best and the most crowded place for shopping. Every Mumbaikar has come here to shop at least once in their life. The range of earrings, the variety of Jhumkas and the beautiful colors spread across the market just put you right in the shopping mood. And the best part is, you can bargain (if you have the skills). And for when you get tired there is a whole lane full of cafes and street food as well.

2. Fashion Street, CST
Back in the day, before Colaba causeway stole all the thunder, Fashion Street was the bustling area for all the Mumbaikars. I remember buying like a dozen scarfs and all under ₹1000. The area is most populated during the day time and the market has all kinds of clothing, for both men and women. The variety of shoes here just amazes me everything. You can spend the entire day just shopping. Also, a tip from a regular shopper, do not forget to try Goti Soda while you are there.

The colorful market of Bhuleshwar is famous for jewelers and all kinds of crystals and stones. I once bought seashells to make a necklace like the one the show in movies.

Early evening around 5 pm you can find beautiful flowers and Mogras that just lifts up the entire atmosphere at Bhuleshwar.
