Comprar un sari en una buena tienda, en India//Buying a saree in a good shop, in India

Please see English text below :)

Y aquí.
Una de las opciones en India para comprar un sari es en una tienda especializada. La fachada de la tienda suele ser moderna con puertas de vidrio, lo que la destaca de los demás comercios. Una cadena de tiendas de este tipo muy popular es RAJ RATAN. La encontramos en las principales ciudades de India y es muy fácil de ubicar además de que todo el mundo las conoce así que es fácil de pedir información con sólo decir las palabras "sari-Raj Ratan". Aunque el aspecto de la tienda es moderno y muy prolijo, el método de venta es típico del Asia del Sur.  Los saris están todos empaquetados acomodados prolijamente en estantes. Sólo los puedes ver cuando el vendedor los abre ante tus ojos. Para ello debes comenzar pidiendo algún color que te guste y un rango de precio (ver aquí)  Hay por lo general una gran mesa donde te van abriendo los saris y los vendedores se suben sobre las mismas para probarse (sí, ellos) los saris que te van interesando para que veas como quedan puestos. ¡Son realmente unos expertos en vestir un sari! :) En estas tiendas no se regatea pero los precios son justos. Así que no queda más que sentarse en cómodas sillas que hay a disposición de las clientas y pedir que te muestren todos los saris que quieras. No hay límites para eso y lo normal es que las clientas indias se pasen un buen rato eligiendo. Los procesos de venta son lentos en India y muchas veces tanto clientes como vendedores se toman un buen té  (con leche y especias) para amenizar el rato. El único problema de pedir que te muestren muchos saris es que cuantos más vez más difícil es decidir con cual te quedas :(




One option in India for buying a saree is to go to a big saree´s store. In this type of shops the storefront is typically modern with glass doors, which sets it apart from other shops in India´s market areas. A shop of this type in India is the very popular RAJ RATAN. Found in the major cities of India it is very easy to locate because everybody knows it so it's easy to request for information in the street by saying the words "saree-Raj Ratan". Although the appearance of the store is modern and very neat, the method of sale is typical of South Asia. The sarees are all packaged in transparent plastic bags and neatly accommodated on shelves. Only you can see them if the seller opens them before your eyes. To do this you should start asking for some colour that you like and to give him a price range (see here) There is usually a large table where they are opening the sarees for showing you and sellers are climbing on the table to try the saree you want to see (yes, them) so you can see how it look like when someone is wearing it.
They are truly experts in wearing a saree! :) In these shops there is not haggle but prices are good as per the quality of the saree. So we only need to sit on comfortable chairs which are availables to clients and ask them to show you all the sarees you want. No limits for that and it is normal that Indian customers are choosing lot of sarees and spending a long time in the shop. The sales process is slow in India and often both customers and vendors take a good tea (with milk and spices) to liven up the time. The only problem to ask them to show you many sarees is that the more and more sarees you see, more difficult is to decide which one to buy :(

  1. You are right Lissie that more sarees you will see and it will more difficult to choose. Because shopkeepers will show you all they have but it is better to have some color and price range in your mind and then only start choosing. These shopkeepers are expert in their field and they will show you saree how it will look on the body by just draping temporarily on their own body as you can see in these photos.
