Fashion Street, Pune
Pune’s most popular budget market for cheap clothes & student shopping
Overview
Fashion Street is Pune’s most famous street market for cheap clothing. It consists of a long stretch of roadside stalls selling jeans, tops, shirts, jackets, and accessories at prices far lower than malls or branded stores.
The market is chaotic, crowded, and fast-paced. Sellers expect bargaining, and buyers are expected to make quick decisions. Quality varies widely, so careful inspection is essential.
