Here’s the list of the best of street shopping destinations in Delhi.
1. Sarojini Nagar
Sarojini Nagar is the best way to shop for branded clothes at a steal. This is essentially an alley with clothes, bags and other accessories all piled up on the road or hanged on the adjoining walls. The goods present here are the ones meant for export so you can easily find brands like Zara, FOREVER 21 and maybe some Indian brands for a price way lower than their showroom value. If you want to have a great deal than reach the market on weekdays early in the morning. At this time the shopkeepers are desperate to make a sale and you’ll get the price of your choice.
