Cashmere Carpets from Kashmir

By | Shopping, Travel | 2 Comments

This was not in the itinerary but there was a request for Cashmere shawls but we ended up in the Cashmere carpet section and spent 3 hours here!  It started off by them pulling us to the showroom and this guy, Haji, giving us a background on Cashmere carpets from Kashmir.  He is a good salesman! 🙂  They are beautiful silk and cashmere carpets, but again, know your prices and the value of carpets

Day 1 Shopping in New Delhi India

By | Shopping, Travel | 7 Comments

india-day-1.jpg

 We arrived early in the morning.  It was foggy in the city.  It was like that for the 3 days we were in Delhi.  

img_9036.JPG

and our bus was there to pick us up in the airport.

 img_9038.JPG

1/4 of the bus was filled with luggage for 8 people in our group 🙂

 img_9040.JPG

 We were greeted in the hotel by the IVAT representative, Indra ( Asst Manager ) , and our tour guide for Delhi, Ravi, who warmly welcomed us

img_9196.jpg

We slept a bit in the room after breakfast and then followed our schedule which was to go shopping!!! 🙂  Since it was our first day- we didn’t know what to look for and we were not aware of prices so we hardly bought anything.  It became window shopping which we later on regretted. This always happens when I travel – I always think I will find something better or get a better deal and James always tells me to just buy when you see something you like! I should really learn to do just that and not think too much! Because when we are travelling we do not have much time to go back to place or look for that thing you saw and liked but didn’t buy! 

They took us to this very nice place – it was very quiet and peaceful and they had many beautiful local stores showcasing Indian products.  Prices here are fixed.  Though I entered a pashmina store and they were offering discounts

santushti-market-01.jpgsantushti-market-017.jpgsantushti-market-016.jpgsantushti-market-04.jpg

 Anokhi was nice – product made of Indian cotton – clothes, bed linens, table linens etc etc

santushti-market-05.jpg6a00e393362da08834013485a22b16970c-640wi.jpg6a00e393362da088340134876f5bc7970c-640wi.jpg5559171015095401621859720175.jpgsantushti-market-015.jpg

Since we did not have lunch, we got a bit hungry and so we had a bite at the restaurant in the place.  A nice snack to keep us through to dinner

santushti-market-06.jpgsantushti-market-07.jpgsantushti-market-08.jpgsantushti-market-09.jpgsantushti-market-010.jpgsantushti-market-011.jpgsantushti-market-012.jpgsantushti-market-013.jpgsantushti-market-014.jpg

Across the street another small complex of shops.  Fabindia was a very nice store for textiles and some local Indian handicrafts and toiletries

santushti-market-02.jpgsantushti-market-03.jpg

This was not in the schedule but I requested to go here as recommended by my friend, Timmy.  It’s the divisoria of India 🙂  Even cheaper than Manila prices and beautiful things.  We only stayed for awhile since it was already late.  It was much cleaner than divisoria and there was no smell as we were expecting.  Bargain till the price that you want!  Something which costs 600 rupees can go down to as low as 100!  Know your prices and the value of the item.

We went shopping here on another day.  This is where the expats shop – so again it is more orderly and more peaceful with many beautiful local products from India.  Fixed prices in this area.  

shopping-in-delhi-07.jpg

It’s just a small complex – one row from the front and a square at the back

shopping-in-delhi-05.jpgshopping-in-delhi-06.jpg

Look for Good Earth, a beautiful home store with all Indian products!
