Posted by myarticlenetwork on January 7, 2010

y now, most Delhiites are familiar with the Flea Market at Select City Walk. For those who don’t know the flea market is a temporary market that is put up in the open every Wednesday. Although the perspective of an open market is nothing new in Delhi, after all there are markets such as Sarojini Nagar, Lajpat Nagar and so on which make the flea market wonderful is its difference between others.

Most of the kiosks accept artist articles and it is the owners who advertise it. This makes shopping here a pleasure. People who come to shop here are professionals or businessperson, they want to shop in a place that is swanky and the people behind the counter are educated. The Flea Market has this and much more. The interest of shopping here is improved during festivals. The fact that Diwali is almost round the corner, the market has some out of the box ideas for the customers. For instance ,the coasters and tablemats made of acrylic. With gold/silver thread intricately woven into the material ( embroidery thread ) and a border, again in gold or silver to compliment it, the effect is stunning. Prices ranges between Rs 200 and Rs 250 for the mats and Rs 200 for six coasters, it is a huge present to give this Diwali.

There can be no Diwali with lights. The conventional diyas have been substituted for candles. There are floating candles, candles in a jar, simply candles and adorning candles. The candles this have added a touch of the festival. The coloured glass jars or containers have motifs of Ganesha, Om etc. When the candle is lit inside the motif is clearly seen giving a haloed look. Most women like clothes and jewellery and will never feel that they possess too many. No kiosk is abandoned that is affairs these items. From academy acceptance to adolescent ladies to aged women, these kiosks accept article for each. Salwar-kurtas with embroidery ( machine embroidery thread ) and zari work is the trend this season. Next,short kurtis comes to the stage. For people from colleges ,floral prints and abstract designs are their favouriate.

One can’t have clothes ( polyester embroidery thread ) and not have matching tote bags to go with them. The flea market has everything people needs with different color such as red, yellow, blue, green and even purple. And next, the common chappals and sandals comes. Take into consideration that a mojority of the things in this market scream ‘designer’, the footwear parts are fairly disappointed. Each one can get what he or she want ,as long as he or she is in the market such as Lajpat Nagar. Most of the kiosks will be back, so there is a chance for you to pick up a few things this Diwali and wow your friends.
