Walking Tour of Stylish Mumbai Shopping in Bandra

Directions

You'll find Matrix on Hill Road, diagonally opposite Globus. It's a large white building with clothes out the front and in the window displays.

What You'll See

A dazzling range of traditional Indian women's clothes laid out for inspection in a flourish by eager sales assistants. There are also toys, children's wear, and men's wear.

What to Buy

If you're looking for traditional Indian clothing such as kurta tops and salwaar kameez, you must come here. You'll find decent quality items for a decent price, and in a full range of sizes. The best thing is the variety. The kurta tops are particularly useful for wearing casually over a pair of jeans or loose pants. Expect to pay $10 to $25 for kurta tops, $25 to $50 for salwaar kameez, and $10 to $25 for dress materials.

What to Keep in Mind

Although it's modern, this store operates according to the traditional model of shopping in India. The stock is kept behind the counters so it's not possible to simply browse. All you have to do is sit and be waited on. However, the constant attention from sales assistants can be a bit overwhelming.
