LBB Tip

When you start bargaining with the vendor, make sure you have a fair idea about the prices of the items you want to buy. The same item near the front of the market will be priced more expensive and can be found at a cheaper cost once you make your way to the inner lanes. A few vendors can be adamant about the price. So, know the max you're willing to pay. Wear comfy shoes, and carry a cross-body bag so that you can keep your hands free for browsing. FYI, compared to evenings and weekends at Fashion Street, mornings on weekdays are generally less crowded.
