Hyderabad Shopping Guide for Kids' Ethnic Wear

Finding the right ethnic clothes for kids is not a very easy job – especially when you see more kids’ shops stocked with western wear than Indian. But social occasions do make purchase of ethnic wear unavoidable, so MetroMela brings to you a list of shops in Hyderabad, where you can buy good ethnic wear for your kids (and maybe for yourself too).

Kalanjali, is a famous store in Hyderabad, catering to all ethnic wear needs for kids. They have beautifully designed ghaghras embellished with sequins, zari and stones, salwar suits, lehenga blouses in silk and cotton, kurta pyjamas in cotton and silk, dhoti kurtas and sherwanis with stoles for the kids. An embroidered or mangalgiri lehenga blouse (available in the handloom section) would cost you anywhere between Rs. 400 and Rs. 700. Ghaghras are priced between Rs. 1,100 and Rs. 3,000. Cotton kurta pyjamas come for Rs. 300–400.

Alka Kids, is an easy-to-locate exclusive kids’ store in Badi Chowdi, Hyderabad, selling casual as well as ethnic wear. They have very nice ghaghras in pretty designs with chic tops, costing between Rs. 600 and Rs. 1,500. In fact, if you want good ghaghras at economical prices, this is the place for you. Besides, they stock colorful kurta pyjamas with stoles, salwar suits and dhoti kurtas here.  

Iqbal Bros, is an exclusive store for men and boys and one among the many in the long stretch of Madina, Hyderabad. It has an extensive collection of embroidered and plain kurta pyjamas in cotton, brocade and silk. Dainty sherwanis embellished with thread and zari work for weddings are amazing. Over here, the collection is good and economically priced. The range for party wear kurta pyjamas for kids starts from Rs. 500. See to it that you bargain at this store. You can also check out other such stores in this area of Hyderabad like Maqdoom Bros, and Maharajas, where you can expect more or less a similar collection.

Madan Gopal Srinivas Bung, is at the end among a host of stores in the Lad Bazaar area of Hyderabad. It is popular for its exclusive party wear ghaghras for girls.

Finally, there is also Fabindia, Hyderabad, that has nice and sober looking long, medium and small kurtas in cotton, kalamkari and silk, salwar suits and mangalgiri lehenga blouses for kids up to eight years old in dark hues. The range starts from Rs. 350 and is more for simple ethnic wear, not necessarily for special occasions.
