Mangaldas Market, Mumbai

The cloth market, the centre of Mumbai's fabric wholesale.

The cloth market of Mumbai, running off Sheikh Memon Street near Crawford Market, with several hundred shops selling fabric by the metre and by the piece. Cotton, silk, synthetics, linings, dress material and shirting, arranged in lanes by type.

This is where the city’s tailors, boutiques and small manufacturers buy. Retail customers are served but the pricing and the minimum quantities are built around trade buyers.
