From high-end malls to street stalls and the fake market scene, you can find almost everything in Lahore. You can get shoes, clothes, watches, bags, perfumes, and more that look like top brands such as Nike, Adidas, Gucci, or Chanel. You can even find electronics and appliances that look like Samsung or Apple gadgets, but they are not original. Here are some of the best markets to get you started.
Liberty Market offers a mix of real and fake products. Some shops and stalls quietly sell replica handbags, fake perfumes, and copied ‘branded’ clothes. You can find knock-offs of Michael Kors, Gucci, and Chanel bags. Prices are higher than most other fake markets, but the quality of fakes is also better here.
Anarkali is one of the oldest markets in Lahore and a must-visit for both locals and tourists. It is full of small shops and street stalls, where you can buy traditional clothes, shoes, watches, jewellery, and handbags. Many items look like they are from big brands, but they are fake.
You can get designer-looking watches, sunglasses, belts, clothes, and shoes, as well as imitation jewellery, including necklaces, bangles, and earrings that sparkle but are not really made of gold or silver.
People love Anarkali because it has a lot of variety, and you can always find something new. Just be ready to walk around and bargain with the shopkeepers.
Want to buy electronics? Hall Road is one of the best places, famous for cheap electronics. You will find gadgets that look like they are from big brands, such as AirPods, headphones, power banks, fake watches, and other accessories. Don't be surprised to find replica phones too.
Some gadgets work just fine for a lower price, but remember that these are not original, and their quality may not last long. Always test before buying.
Ichhra Bazaar is another one of the oldest and busiest markets in Lahore. You will find replica clothes of famous brands as well as fake makeup and perfumes at very affordable prices. For the most part, the clothes are usually very well-made and good-looking. However, it is important to be extra careful with makeup products and perfume, as some may cause skin problems.
Fortress Stadium Market is a popular shopping area in Lahore that offers a mix of shopping, dining, and entertainment options. While you can find all types of clothing, including traditional dresses like ghararas and lehengas, there are also plenty of imitation products. This includes fake shoes, t-shirts, jackets, tracksuits, and caps that look like they are from big brands like Nike, Adidas, Under Armour, Puma, and Reebok. The designs and logos are usually almost the same, which makes it hard to tell the difference (unless you look closely).
The quality is also often better than street stalls, but it is still not the same as real brands, so the shoes and clothes might not last as long. Like in any other market, always inspect everything carefully before you buy.
One of the best things about these markets is that they are super fun and budget-friendly. You don't need a lot of money to go shopping. And if you are good at bargaining, you are most likely to get even more items for less.
