Fashion Street :
Readymade garments are one of Mumbai's chief exports
- and the surplus lands up at Fashion Street, a huddle
of little shops on Mahatma Gandhi Road. They cost only
a fraction of the price in foreign stores however, and
are grabbed by fashion conscious collegians fresh off
the rack. Haggling, of course is half the fun of buying.
Begin at half the quoted price and work your way gradually
upwards, then follow though with a thorough appraisal
of the goods: much of the stuff here is rejected by
quality conscious importers and likely to have a missing
button or crooked collar. But by and large the clothes
are of good quality, trendy, and probably the cheapest
anywhere in the world.
