Shahpur Jat introduction

(Main fashion street : Dada Jungi House's lane)

Shahpur Jat is Delhi in its hybridised best. Ensconced between two of south Delhi's most upmarket areas - Asiad Games Village and Hauz Khas. This tiny piece of urban village has missed the trendy touch of city architecture, yet has managed to capture the essence of a city life like no other. 

Due to the exceptionally low rent in the area and availability of low cost labour, in recent year Shahpur Jat is witnessing a significant change in its social and economic set up. The well - known designers of Delhi have started establishing their own outlets and showrooms in this village.

Walking through the narrow streets of Shahpurjat, one is surprised to chance upon shops housed in dilapidated buildings, selling exclusive products in innovative designs, everything from shoes and jewellery to clothes and books. Hence, it’s small wonder, that this little corner of south Delhi has become a popular haunt among Delhiites.

Famous for its boutiques offering designer clothes, the market is divided into three broad categories, clothes, accessories and home decor.

Shops like Dastakar have also set their outlet in a corner to earn maximum as Shahpur Jat is quite famous among high society people assisting the low brand shops to earn maximum and increase their profits, But not all the designers are able to avail such opportunities as the lanes are pretty narrow and give an effect of a dead end although a lot of shops are located in the inside lanes of Shahpur Jat.

This is one of the negative aspect of Shahpur Jat which is not only affecting the sellers but also the buyers.
