A Complete Low Down On Thrift Shopping – Sarojini Nagar Market
Once I read “thrifted” on a particular peacock dress a fashion blogger was blogging about. And yours truly went nuts searching for the brand “thrifted”. Shhhh…don’t tell this to anyone please! That was many many centuries ago and I was not into thrift shopping so I thought it was some new fashion clothing brand! Okay forget that you ever read this. BUT now your truly has done Ph.D sorts in thrift shoppping and all ready to share her wealth of knowledge with you.What exactly is Sarojini Nagar market?
Its a lively open air market with loads of street side shops selling garments, clothes, fabrics in all colours, designs and sizes at unbeatable prices.

How to get there by Public transport?
I say your best bet is to go via Delhi Metro! Go to the underground DU line and get a ticket for “INA”. From there get an auto and he will take you straight to the market, charges Rs.30 approx.
Okay before we go to another set of questions, have a look at these amazing photographs I clicked.
Loved the British style navy blue coat. I wish it was available in my size.
The market is brimming with winter coats, blazers, jumpers right now.
So much of variety.. The pink blazer on the left looks nice to me.
Loads of summer dresses. Ideally worn with cardigans in this weather.
Beaded jewelry. I don’t wear such peices but they are BEAUTIFUL.
Did I tell you all those animal inspired necklaces were avaialable for as cheap as R.50 ($1)! And there were some really gorgous peices.
This is making me decorate my home all over again with such classis peices.
LACE everywhere
Scarf and stoles in every colour, hue, print possible.
The best time to visit the market?
Its closed on Mondays and open from Tuesday to Sunday from 10:00 AM to 09:00 PM. But the best time to visit is on Wednesday or Thursday when the fresh stock is out. And try to go as early as possible, early bird catches all the best peices! Plus the vendors are superstitious about bonnie(read below for what it means), so they won’t refuse a deal in the morning.
