Not just the common face print Kalamkari fabric, but make sure you have a look at their Buddha and Kathakali and other fun prints available in a range of colours. Their Pochampally ikat fabrics start at INR 145 per metre, and you know how trendy but timeless ikat is, so you have stocked up on these. The stall also has other pretty ikats, soft and simple cotton fabrics  — some even with cute cat prints on them.
