Textiles, rugs, pottery, jewelry, shoes, miniature paintings, house wares - it's all in abundance here! For jewellery and gems, head out to the Johari Bazaar or the Chameliwala Market. In fact numerous shops line the streets of Amber, including those specializing in hand-blocked prints, blue pottery and antiques. Fabric is another must-buy here since the finest quality of silk, chiffon, and cotton is transformed through traditional block printing and tie-and-dye techniques.
Bandhni cloths are often sold with the thread still tied on and is traditionally worn un-ironed, showing off the crinkly circles. Bapu Bazaar is where you can bargain for a wide range of textiles and ready-made garments, as well as traditional leather shoes and bangles of glass and lacquer. If you're looking to carry gifts home, take a look at the tiny workshops producing beautiful bangles in Maniharon Ka Rasta and Salim's for some striking handmade papers that you'd probably hate to write on!
