Leather goods are the other major Agra shopping products. All leather items like bags, shoes, belts, leather jackets etc are availablein various designs. Agra Rugs and Carpets are also very popular.

There are many leather industries in Agra so leather goods are available in large variety. A good range of decorative articles made up of metals like brass, silver, copper are also available.Sadar Bazaar, Munro Road and south of Taj Ganj are popular shopping areas in Agra. Shilpagram, a craft village on the eastern side of Taj Mahal in Agra, is a popular open-air emporium that is frequented by many tourists on their shopping in Agra.

While shopping in Agra be careful about the quality of the stone of marble products. Genuine marble is opaque and does not allow light to pass through. Do as much bargaining as u can during Agra shopping.

Check if Taj Mahal replica you are buying is Genuine marble or not (i.e. Alabester)

Do not go for shopping with guides or drivers, they have heavy commissions, which makes your items costly.

While you were on a trip to Taj Mahal or Red Fort, you will come across many salesmen and touts selling many things. Dont let them put your mood off, simply ignore them.
