Deep in the caverns of Noida is Indira Market, a warren of stalls selling export surplus kurtas, crockery, random things for the house as well as an outing for people who live next door. It's also home to several fabric shops, and a favourite of my mum's friend who lives next door and told her all about it. I also wanted to go so we made a date and there like Aladdin's cave, vast quantities of fabric piled up to the ceiling and me deciding what I needed to get made over the next few weeks. Shorts definitely. Co-ords. A shift dress. A tank top. Shopping for fabric is in many ways more fun than regular shopping because it exercises your creative brain but obvs there's delayed gratification and you have to wait and see if the tailor can pull off your ambitions. Also bought some ₹100 t-shirts for days like yesterday, going to local markets and exploring new things. #fabricshopping #tailormade #diyclothes #handloom #exportsurplus #indiramarket #noida
