Laad Bazaar Is Shopping Haven! Here Are All The Reasons We Love Coming Here

The joy of walking the streets of the Old City during the night is breathtaking. The stores and stalls are all festive and lit up, and we cannot tell you how amazing the aroma of kebabs and street food is! We gulped down some avocado juice from Milan Juice Centre and braced ourselves to grab all the affordable beauties from Laad Bazaar. 

Best Time to Visit: Ramzaan month or any other night from 7 PM to 11:30 AM 

Entry Fee: Free

Strolling through Laad Bazaar, we found plenty of desi crop jackets with embroidery and mirror work. These come in different colours and are perfect for your kurta and patiala suits.

Price: INR 200 onwards

The wholesale stores lined along the market have stocked up on fancy fabrics, ikat, kalamkari, brocades, Banarasi silk, chiffon, and so much more. We showered some love on Kalamkari cloth pieces at INR 80 per meter. While the price range of Banarasi silk is around INR 350 to INR 850 (depending on your choice), it is quite good for weddings and festive collections. 

Price: INR 80 onwards

Now, this is something that got us super excited. Although we frequent Old City for our supply of kitschy jewellery, we’ve never found these multi-coloured earrings before. Pair them with plain kurtas, or you’ll be all set to add a festive look to your outfit. Be sure to bargain hard if they quote a higher price.

Price: INR 200 onwards

The streets are flooded with potlis of different sizes, shapes, and colours. Done in various fabrics and embroidery, these can make you stand out in a crowd. Pair them with an ethnic dress or grab them for gifting purposes —we’re doing both.

Price: INR 150 onwards

We found several desi sling bags with tassels at a wholesale store, and we love them. While the store owner declared that the store has new arrivals once a month, he had enough goodness to keep us going back.

Price: INR 350 onwards

The variety of bangles is fantastic. From metallic ones to glass and fancy bangles, the stores and street vendors have lovely collections for you to go nuts about. The collection also includes some grand ones with elaborate work.

Price: INR 30 onwards

It's a pretty popular shopping market in Hyderabad so you have to expect crowd, even more so if you're embarking on a shopping spree at night. So be prepared to navigate the other shoppers and keep your belongings safe.
