Kolkata shopping, three ways

There's the bargain-hunt shopping — the heritage markets and street fairs where you go for the experience as much as the purchase. There's the considered purchase — designer boutiques and curated stores where the price is the price. And there's the practical run — malls when you need things in one stop. We've split the list along those lines.

Bargaining etiquette

At heritage markets in Kolkata, prices are usually negotiable — start at 50–60% of the quoted price and meet at 70–75%. Cards are widely accepted but small cash helps at street stalls. Boutiques and malls are fixed-price; bargaining there is awkward at best.

Shipping things home

Most premium boutiques in Kolkata can ship internationally — quoting 5–10 business days to the US/UK at standard, faster for express. GST refunds for tourists are available on purchases above set thresholds; the store will handle the paperwork on request.
