Shopper's Paradise



Delhi has had a rich tradition that is an amalgamation of the traditions, cultures and ethics from all over India. The tradition and culture mix that is reflected in it's cuisine can also be found in it's love for clothing and accesories that people not only in Delhi love but is also admired the world over. In a rich array of clothing and accesories that can be bought from a street side vendor outside a up-market mall to a high class showroom, ranging from a fancy KURTA (traditional indian top worn by both men and women) INR 100/- (US $2 to $3) to INR 5000/- (US $100 to $150) Levi's pair of denims. Clothing out from studios of the world known designers to a Delhi garment manufacturer, you can find it all here.
