Now that we were all fuelled, we geared up for some retail therapy {kudos to the strategic placements}. Haji Lane houses a line of boutiques filled with designer clothes, shoes, jewellery, accessories and perfumes. It’s mildly reminiscent of Shahpur Jat {minus all the lehngas} and here’s where you head when you’re looking for one-of-a-kind pieces of anything.
We started our card swiping expedition with a little accessory shop called The Last Piece. The concept of the store is that everything is available in only one piece so you can get your hands on something really exclusive. They’re all about quirky sunglasses and dainty rings and bracelets and with trinkets priced as low as $10 {around INR 500}, it’s worth at least a look-see.
Other stores which we’re likely to go back to on our next visit include August Swimwear {tankinis FTW}, Victoria Jomo for quirky banana printed socks and ganjis, Luca and Vic for ice cream print loafers for the wee ones in our lives and XX Simplicity. The latter keeps miniature versions of our favourite perfumes complete with nozzle et al {we saw variants of Dior, Armani, Bulgari, Carolina Herrera to name a few} along with some cutesy fridge magnets and women’s blouses.
Don’t forget to check out ORO just in case you’re looking to score a hat for your next tea party with Alice. We ended up with sweeping clean a small vintage-y store- Dulcet Fig reminded us a little of House of Blondie back home.
Whereas we’ve clearly established our favourites here, we’d urge you to explore and discover your own- every nook and corner holds something interesting.
