Rickshaw Recycle
One of our favourite finds, Rickshaw Cycle stores stationery, decor and accessories all made out of recycled paper. Whether you’re looking for your next dear diary or a gift for a housewarming party, chances are you’ll find something beautiful and affordable.
Tatsat
Situated in Hauz Khas Market, Tatsat sources products from local artisans and craftsmen from across the country. It’s an interesting store to just browse through: You’ll find everything from artsy visiting card holders, candles, bottle lamps, hand-made jewellery, saris, stoles to diaries, clutches and wooden platters. The curation is so good you’re bound to fall in love with a thing or two, if not all.
Mesh
Mesh is a two-storied fair trade shop brimming with exciting handicrafts, accessories, toys and beanbags. The merch is made by leprosy-affected, and disabled, artisans and thus, all proceeds go towards their rehabilitation. It’s a little bit of a sprint from the metro station so you might want to take a rickshaw in case you’re not wearing your comfiest pair of shoes.
Arun Watch Company
This isn’t much for browsing but if buying a watch is on your to-do list, this store’s a good option. They offer great deals and discounts seasonally too.
#LBBTip: There are lots of electronic and phone stores in the vicinity.
