Jewellery, Bags, Art & More: Our Guide To Colaba's Metro Plaza

As soon as you enter, you grab a small tub of boiled corn (seasoned the way you like it!) and then turn to the first shop called Kohinoor. Dripping with all sorts of costume jewellery, you can't help but gasp at the colours on display and the variety in store. The extreme left part of the shop has a section where ethnic jewellery starts at INR 100, and then progresses towards the store (INR 150 for most of their earrings). Their bangles sets start at INR 250, ornate earrings can go up to INR 350 and neckpieces start at INR 300. You'll find a lot of tassel work here.

Wow. This store is what jewellery dreams are made of. Earlier an antique store, Dior is revamped with all sorts of costume jewellery, including gorgeous metal (brass and ceramic stone) bags that can probably match those earrings you've laid eyes on. Their earrings start at a modest INR 100 and neckpieces from INR 300. The owner and his son will let you try on their stuff too, without a hassle, and usually suggest what works best with what sort of outfit you want to pair your jewellery with. 

When we walked in, little did we expect to find a tailoring service promising to make you custom suits in just 6 hours! We aren't kidding. They make suits for women too, where a 2-piece suit will cost you INR 6,000. Not just that, they also sell pure leather jackets here, starting at INR 6,000. You can get your jackets customised as per your need and want and they'll do it for you in 24 hours. Now, isn't this something? 

Competing directly with Planet G is M. Boutique. We believe the 'M' stands for men, as it only caters to their work. This store can stitch you a men's suit in 5 hours. Yep, that's what they promise. If you're interested, a 2-piece suit will cost you INR 9,000. It's great to bookmark in case you have a last--minute function you just can't avoid.
