What exactly is the Sarojini Nagar market?
It's a lively open-air market with loads of street-side shops selling garments, clothes, fabrics in all colors, designs, and sizes at unbeatable prices. It has a large number of showrooms from various big brands but the heart of the market lies in the street side local shops.
Where is Sarojini Market located?
South West Delhi.
How to get there by Public transport?
I say your best bet is to go via Delhi Metro! Go to the underground DU line and get a ticket for “INA”. From there get an auto and he will take you straight to the market, charging Rs.30 approx.
Why is the market so cheap?
We all know that big international giants like Zara, H&M, Gap, UCB, M&S, etc outsource their products to third world countries like India because of the cheap labor available in these countries. So that way these clothing giants get a HUGE margin on these clothes. So if there is a slight variation from the actual style or design demanded on any of the pieces or a very minor defect, then the whole lot is rejected and they make their way to export surplus markets like Sarojini. So next time don’t be surprised when you come across a replica of your expensive Zara dress at a quarter of the original price!
How do know who won the deal?
Some tips to be kept in mind:
- Take only cash with you. They don’t accept credit/debit cards of course! And keep a lot of change with you. Only some shops accept online modes of payment.
- This market is a maze, seriously! You can easily get lost and lose track of shops you have visited/not visited. So when you start, take note of a nearby landmark.
- As stated earlier, go on Wednesday when the new stock is out on display.
- And try to reach their by 12 Pm. The sellers are superstitious about bonnie, i.e. the first deal of the day. They believe if the first deal goes bad, the whole day would turn out to be bad. So chances are they will accept the prices you quote, all in the name of bonnie!
- Bargain, bargain, bargain! Quote half the price or If you are pro ask for the one-third price the seller asks for. Like if he says a particular item is for Rs.500, quote Rs.250 in exchange, chances are the deal will be fixed around Rs.300! (I directly ask for 175 Rs if the shopkeeper says 500Rs and the deal may get close to 200-220 Rs).
- Don’t buy everything you like. There will be a lot of pieces you will instantly fall in love with but when you come home, you will realize you have no such place to wear them too!
- Check the sizes properly because later you probably can't tell where exactly you bought that piece from..and hence no exchange! Don’t go by the labels, most of the time they are flawed.
- Check for tears and stains. If there is something you can’t fix, LEAVE even if it breaks your heart. Some of the items could be slightly dirty because of the huge distance they had to travel but if it's easily washable, then DON’T LEAVE. But ALWAYS wash before wearing.
- In summers when it's frigging hot, take a water bottle with you and wear a scarf or hat.
- ALWAYS take someone with you also do not forget to carry a big bag with you or else you have to buy it there and the one who sells asks for more amount than the product since they have an idea that we are in need.
So here is the haul of some of the items I bought from Sarojini Market:
- OVERSIZED SWEATERS- 50 Rs
I bought this sweater from 3 different shops. The 1st image blue-white stripe sweater was already for 50 bucks.
For the rest two sweaters, the shopkeeper asked me to pay 200rs per sweater, I directly asked him whether to give for 50 Rs and I left the shop he himself called me back and said
"LELO MADAMJI"
- OVERCOAT-20 RS
- The overcoats were been sold as "100 ke 5, 100 ke 5 " and this brown coat is of H&M and seriously it's for 4000 rs in H&M and I took it for 20 Rs.
- For the top, that man asked me to pay 300rs and I just said to him - "kya bhaiya kuch bhi bolre ho" he said "aap kitna doge" and I said "50 dugi" and surprised he said Chalo 70 dedo, I left the shop he called and said Lelo.
- The shop was special for jeans it was having all the types of jeans and the man was shouting "150 ka Ek 150 ka Ek", but as I asked him for "150 ke 2" and he literally gave it
- The overcoats were been sold as "100 ke 5, 100 ke 5 " and this brown coat is of H&M and seriously it's for 4000 rs in H&M and I took it for 20 Rs.
- The blue jeans were told as 100 Rs so Mera bas chalta toh I would have asked hi for 20 Rs but my friend already said him that give it for 50 and he agreed on it and hence the result.
- The black jacket was for 50 rs itself but I asked him to give in 30 and, Tadang 30 rs Mai Aur kya milega Sahab!
- The Kashmiri Jacket was literally so soft and colorful I felt that I must buy it for my mom and, that man seriously said it was for 600 Rs. I was shocked and I left but he didn't call me back but also that jacket was running in my mind a lot and went to him again asked kitne main doge last? He said 600 Rs mam, I went to next 3 to 4 shops but still I didn't get that jacket anywhere, It was the closing time I again went to that shop and asked kitne mai so he said band karne ka samay hai 500 dedo I asked him ki 100 main dere kya he said no and I left, he came to me and said do ma'am 100 rs and Lelo.
