Shopping For Gucci Rip-Offs And Finding Discounts At Manish Market

Let’s admit it- we all get thrills out of buying rip-offs. And simply because we can’t always afford what we want. So if you’re being given the second best, that too for the lowest possible price, then why not? We explored Manish Market in Churchgate, which is a shrine for those who would love to buy rip-offs, and is also a grey market for electronics.

How to Reach: The best way to reach, is to get down at the Dadar railway station and walk to the market which is just a couple of minutes away. If you choose to come by bus then the nearest bus station to the market is Kabutarkahana, (three minutes away). If you're coming by a car then worry not as there are a number of paid parking facilities available

Timings: 10:00 am - 10:00 pm (Closed on Sundays)

There’s no dearth of duplicate watches here. No, seriously. Every alternate store sells watches and sunglasses in abundance, so be rest assured that you will most certainly find the one you’re looking for. They house copies of brands such as Rolex, Harley Davidson, Police, Tissot, Guess, Tommy Hilfiger, etc – all with brand labels. 

Price: INR 350 for men’s watches start and INR 700 for women's watches

Always wanted to own Prada glasses? Or are you more the aviator-wearing girl? Check out Manish Market for best rip-offs of Gucci, Tom Ford and more. All of the latest and in-vogue designs will be found in these tiny stores.

Beyond accessories and electronics, what you will find for dirt cheap here is clothing for men. Yes, there are men’s wholesale clothing stores where you can purchase t-shirts and jeans. Ladies, there’s very little variety for you, but there’s some hope if you’re okay with basics. Ankle-length, skinny fit jeans start at INR 450.

Price: Men's t-shirt starting at INR 200 and Women's t-shirt at INR 400

You will love the variety in phone covers out here. Full of funky designs and one liners with ‘Keep Calm’ slogans and words like ‘Pataka’, you will find a cover for every kind of a phone, in the type that you like – in both hard covers and soft covers.

Have a trek to go for and need something to protect you from the cold? Or have the rains in the city not been too kind to you? Hop over to Manish Market and get your hands on all-season and all-purpose jackets. Though the collection was limited, we liked the jackets at a store right at the entry of Manish Market.

Price: Starting at INR 1,250

If you want to buy or exchange your phone, you can check out Manish Market where you will get the product for cheaper than the market value, but without a receipt (we wouldn’t encourage this). What you can also come here for is to get your electronics repaired, as every second store offers these services.
