Merchandise at  Bibaji Churi Wale, Jodhpur, India

Bibaji Churi Wale

Mr. Sattar Biba’s family has been selling glass wedding bangles in Jodhpur for more than 100 years. His small shop near the Clock Tower is piled high with bangle boxes of colors, decoration and sizes. Be sure to try bracelets on before buying as they come in various sizes, some of which are very small. If you call, the store will send someone to guide you to the shop. They make great, inexpensive souvenirs.

Clock Tower Market

The main market place where fruit sellers meet sari vendors sprawls around the historic Clock Tower. Intrepid photographers and shoppers will love the color and chaos. Those uncomfortable with crowds and hawkers may find it less appealing.

India Tailors

Ignore the shabby store front and crudely painted sign above the door. This is the place to order up your custom jodhpurs. It is a tiny shop in town but they have whipped up riding breeches for a who’s who of international equestrians and dandies.

Merchandise at Lalji, Jodhpur, India

Lalji

More of a series of storerooms than a proper shop, this dusty warren of collectibles is not for the feint of heart. Flea market prowlers, however, could get lost here for hours. Whether you are looking for wooden tables, lacquerware, brassware, old keys or lanterns, you will find literally hundreds of options. One room is devoted entirely to drawer pulls. A layer of dust covers most everything but prices are reasonable (negotiate), and there truly is something for everyone here if you look long enough. The owners, the Singhal family, claim to export more than 600 containers of goods abroad a year.

Maharani Art Exporters

A four-story emporium of textiles, this shop in Jodhpur is piled with fabrics and purportedly supplies shops from ABC Carpets and Roberta Freymann to Etro, Loro Piana and Hermès. Mukesh Jain, whose family has run this shop for decades, will show you pictures of Richard Gere and Valentino in the store, but whether you believe that you are buying cashmere and pashmina made for luxury labels or not, you are likely to find some items too tempting to resist. It is worth negotiating as prices fluctuate wildly. They will ship internationally but with inconsistent speed. Some packages arrive within a week and others may take many weeks.
