Ichhra Bazaar on Ferozepur Road is Lahore’s best market for budget clothes, fabric and cultural outfits. For Basant, it is the place for yellow, mustard and green kurtas, shalwar kameez, dupattas, bangles and accessories, plus fast tailoring. Prices are lower than Liberty or the malls, and bargaining is expected.
