Lace - any good haberdashery shop in Delhi?

Aishah · Mar 2nd, 2008, 17:39

I'm wondering if any Delhiite might know of a good shop for buying lace trimming for a dress. We have a heavy lace called 'guipure' imported from European countries to NZ and I wonder if there is anything similar for buying in Delhi? Are there any 'trimmings for dress' shops around CP, Paharganj, Rajouri Garden, Karol Bagh or South Delhi areas - these are all markets I know and can reach easily.
My sister is making a skirt and jacket from some silk I have already purchased from a shop in Rajouri Garden market, and we think it would look good with a bit of lace trimming.

I can't find the business card at the moment, but I found a shop owned by a Mr. Jain (might be S.K. Jain) that probably was at CP -- you might ask there and maybe he knows a source.

There's also a "matching" shop near CP .. they, too, might know.

Visit the bazaars of Karol Bagh esp Ajmal Khan Road.

In Sarojini Nagar market there is a part of it called Babu Market. In Babu market there are atleast 7 shops selling laces. Try them out, not sure if they would have the imported stuff you are looking.

Many thanks folks, jotted all down and now I have places to check out. Sarojini Nagar not far from where I'll be staying so that one sounds good too, but I'll also be travelling around to CP and Karol Bagh, so will have chance to look at all if I fail at one lot!
