Shopping in Mumbai
Mumbai's famous market Chor Bazaar in Kalbadevi gets everyone haggling for antiques. Colaba is home to top Indian designers at Ensemble, while Fort has old favourites like Bombay Store for silk ties and ornately-packaged exotic teas. High-street fashion fans head for Linking Road in Bandra, and Mumbai's celebrity set head to Juhu. Quirky designer gear and gifts dot the Kemps Corner area. Most shops are open daily – except markets – between around 10am-7pm.
