Indians love to shop and Jaipur is a treasure trove for anyone, serious or curious. You will soon realize that it is impossible to capture the magic of Jaipur in just one trip. Instead, the beauty of this place is that it pulls you back, again and again, to discover its riches.
Jaipur is justly famous for its blue pottery, stunning jewellery, local bohemian bazaars and of course it’s hand-woven, dyed, and block-printed fabrics, which are made by skilled craftspeople. On your tour of the Pink City, explore the many boutiques and workshops where the designs are created, stitched, sculpted and crafted. Depending on our shopping preferences, your Luxe team will be able to share with you the names of the reputed stores but if it is fabric you wish to shop, one of our favourite stores is Anokhi.
Though it now has branches across India and internationally, Anokhi is first and foremost a Jaipuri brand, with decades of history behind it. The store works closely alongside artisans skilled in block printing, as well as appliqué, embroidery, and other techniques, to produce its striking textiles and clothing. Once you've browsed the flagship shop, you can also venture to the Anokhi Museum of Hand Printing, located adjacent to the Amber Fort in a restored haveli, where you'll learn more about the traditional methods that have made the city's textile reputation so enduring.
We will also organize a session with one of the masters and you get to watch him carve unbelievably intricate wooden printing blocks and even have a go at printing your own scarf under his direction. Be prepared to leave with armfuls of skirts, tunics, scarves, shawls, and more!
