SHOPPING PARADOX! OLD OR NEW?!
Bangles, Bazaars and Bargains! ....*
If you thought Lad Bazaar was the only place for Bangles in Hyderabad, here’s some news!
A walk near the shaded timber market in Goshamahal, Nampally, reveals an entire street tinkling and scintillating with wholesale Bangle stores.
Having been around for more than 40 years, this street has silently grown from 10 small shops to 50 family run businesses.
Though the fashion trends have changed and evolved to minimalistic styles, bangles are always in and the market demand has increased three fold according to some.
Selling not only the regular glass and lac bangles but a whole gamut of plastic, metal and studded bangles along with the new age kangans, these stores are mindboggling in terms of variety.
Though, primarily wholesale, they welcome retailers with the same discounted prices which are a steal!
From toddlers to adults, they have the entire range covered and during festivals the crowds are enormous, says one shopkeeper.
Available from Rs. 10 a dozen to almost Rs.100 for a pair, they are a must buy for anyone remotely interested in the ornament!
Bangles are sometimes sourced all the way from Faridabad, and the special one with Kundan and Moti work are done in workshops nearby.
To add to this, they now sell new types of Bangle stands and Jewellery boxes which make for unique gifting ideas.
Don’t miss: Stone studded and multi coloured plastic bangles priced for Rs.35 a dozen.
Timing: 9am to 8pm.
Best time to visit: Weekdays other than Friday, 1pm to 5pm.
Nearest Parking: Near Exhibition Grounds.
*A Blurb for Pills!
