Calcutta is one of the famous havens for shoppers. The markets around the city offer a wide selection of goods to choose from. One of the most sought-after items of Calcutta is its handicrafts, including the Tant saris, the specialty of West Bengal, hand-woven works, silk, and jewelry.
Calcutta sells everything from expensive European antiques to local spices by way of electrical goods and silks. Shopping in Calcutta will cater for all tastes and budgets. At the rows of market stalls very good bargains can be found. Calcutta is also home to a number of tailors who will make clothes quickly at a reasonable cost.
If market are not for you, go to malls. In Calcutta ther are many colourful shopping malls. One of them is Metro Plaza in Ho Chi Minh Sarani. The shopping centre is huge with many shops for clothes, jewelleries, leather goods and such things. You can choose from a wide range of clothes and jewelleries. However, you should know what to buy and how much you can spend. It is surely going to be a nice experience of shopping in Calcutta for you there! You can shop for the Western or the Indian clothes or even for the leather handbags and other such things. I usually prefer this complex for buying denims and formals.

Shopping in Calcutta may be continued in The Forum Mall in Camac Street. It is another very nice complex with a wide range of clothes - from denims to formalwear for both men and women.
