Range: Fashion Point stores bags that are imported from China and Thailand. Their popularity can be attested by the fact that bags fly off the shelves so fast that they get a new range every week. They have a large range of bags in polka dots, stripes, frock cuts and more.

If you're a bohemian at heart, check out their colourful jholas. They also stock bags in tiger, snake and crocodile prints as well as some elegant clutches, perfect for a night out.

We liked: A brown bag (Rs 450), interwoven with rattan in a semi-jhola style caught our eye. It's functional, washable and comes with many compartments so that you can store all that you need to carry. There was a pink polka-dotted bag (Rs 380) with a striped bow, which we thought was perfect for college-going teens. A yellow and black polka-dotted, synthetic hand bag (Rs 500), with a little pouch attached for your mobile, had a bright summery look that will brighten up any outfit.
