    Hi,
    I have heard abt wholesale stores in downtown NY and stuffs are cheap and good variety, does anyone know where to buy what?

    one of my friend told she bought stone work kind of artificial jewellery, clips, and fancy stuff, handbags etc for cheap rate but no idea where to look for it.

    thanks.

    Thankyou Nandu.i will check it out.

    But what i heard is one street is full of bags, other street for crystals/stone jewellery etc and some streets for fabric etc. just like our parrys corner.

    thanks,
    chaaral.

    Chinatown is like that chaaral.. u get prada for $20 ;) ofcourse the duplicate ones.. The stores are just like our ranganathan street with small shops on either side with lots of different things you can purchase, especially for the outside circle people in India where the budget for them would be <$20 :) and still gift them with branded stuff.

    also you can spend a day in NY.. every other street will have $5 hangbags, sunglasses, watches etc.. all stolen from warehouse :mrgreen:.. just walk around, like in time square, streets next to manhattan mall.. you will see them..

    Hey Chaaral,

    I work downtown.. about 3 blocks from Chinatown.. its got a whole bunch of stuff.. its cheap, so don't expect much!

    Also, for shopping, SoHo is awesome.. just a few blocks from Chinatown.. right around Spring street.. check out Century 21 as well.. good stuff there and its a huge store.. multiple floors of just goodies!!
