We are consulting for a few Leather and Garment companies. On one of my visits, I just happened to buy a pair of good shoes for just about $100 that would cost $500-$700 elsewhere!
Where to buy? If you are traveling from Bangalore to Chennai (Madras) by the road/train, you will come across Ambur and Ranipet which are the hub of leather industry in Tamil Nadu. There are many small stores out here which sell genuine, quality leather shoes, bags, belts and other articles at throwaway prices.
Go ahead, buy these stuff in these places and save money...
