REVIEWS OF HOTEL EXECUTIVE CLUB LOUNGES, KIDS CLUBS AND MORE.
Bengaluru, also known as Bangalore, is one of the busiest and most exciting cities in India. It is popularly known as a tech city because of the many IT companies, startups, and the overall technology industry.
But there is much more to Bengaluru than just technology parks. The city is also famous for its vibrant culture, tasty food, beautiful parks, and, of course, amazing shopping spots. From luxury malls to lively street markets, Bengaluru offers something for every type of shopper.
In today's blog, we are taking a look at the best places to go if you are looking for high-end or fast fashion, including imitation items made to resemble big-name brands, on a budget.
Commercial Street is one of the oldest and most famous shopping areas in Bengaluru. It is always full of people, especially during weekends and holidays. This street is mainly known for clothes, shoes, jewellery, and accessories, including fake branded products.
Many shops here sell clothes with famous brand logos. You will find t-shirts, jeans, jackets, and hoodies that look like they are from brands like Adidas or Nike. Some shopkeepers may even say they are original, but most of them are just first copies. The quality may not be as good as the real ones, but they still look stylish and cost much less.
There are also stalls that sell “Rolex” watches or “Ray-Ban” sunglasses for a few hundred rupees. Some of these items look almost exactly like the real ones. Bargaining is very common here, so do not be afraid to ask for a lower price.
Brigade Road is another trendy shopping place in Bengaluru. While there are big brand showrooms here, there are also street stalls offering fake branded items, often selling for half or even less than the original price.
What makes Brigade Road more attractive is the vibe. With music, food stalls, and a mix of both Indian and foreign shoppers, it makes it even more fun. If you like fashion and are okay with lookalike products, this is a great place to visit.
Jayanagar is a quieter part of Bengaluru compared to the central areas, but it still has its own famous shopping spots. The 4th Block shopping complex is always full of people buying clothes, accessories, and home goods.
Here, you will find many stalls that sell shoes, watches, bags, and clothes with fake brand names. These are not inside fancy shops but outside in the open-air market, where many small sellers set up their stalls. The prices are very low, and the quality varies from shop to shop.
This is another one of the most popular fake markets in Bengaluru. Here, you can find a wide range of fake goods, including mobile phones that look like Samsung, smartwatches with big brand names like Apple, DVDs of movies that are still in theatres, and other electronics. Many shops also sell watches, perfumes, accessories, and clothes and shoes with popular labels.
You will come across shoes and sneakers that resemble Nike or Reebok, selling for half or even less than the original price, and bags that look like Louis Vuitton or Michael Kors at much cheaper rates. There are also belts, wallets, and phone cases with fake designer logos.
Fake markets are a part of Bengaluru shopping culture. Even though the items are not original, many people find them fun to explore because of the huge variety and low prices. Places like Commercial Street, Brigade Road, and National Market are some of the best spots to get you started.
While shopping in these markets, always be smart and careful. Check the quality, bargain well, and don’t expect these products to last like the originals. Also, as a tourist, remember to support original and local products.
