The Pink city of India, the owner and capital of Rajasthan’s heritage and the final destination for a fantastic Indian ethnic shopping experience – has Jaipur been on your mind?

The Windy Palace, the fort of Amer, the vibrant lanes of Johri Bazaar, Bapu Bazaar and Maniharon ka Rasta, this month’s Travel Trousseau will take you through the imperial lanes of Jaipur, the capital city of Rajasthan! While you dip your shopping fetish into the locally designed silver and Kundan jewelry, or Mojaris, stone carvings, lac, a tiny variety of camel skin, tie & dye textiles of Bandhani & Leheriya and the block designs of Sanganer and Bagru, read on before you step out for the street spree this time, all the way from Jaipur:

As the name resonates Johri Bazaar has the vibrancy of Bandhani or Bandhej in spreads of Dupattas, Sarees, Lehenga Choli, Penny Pouches, and other accessories. Besides these tie and dye textiles, Johri Bazaar is majorly known for real and semi gemstones and silver jewelry, carved in modern yet traditional chunks of jewels and more.

Prints and paintings of Batik and Bandhej too splash bright colors to your trunk of Salwar Kameez and Dupattas!
