Banjara Market items in Bangalore anyone want to pool in for a truck/shipping?
Hey everyone!
I’m currently in the middle of doing up my place here in Bangalore, and like many of you, I’ve been doom scrolling through those Banjara Market hauls on Instagram and Pinterest. Every time I see a carved teak mirror or those gorgeous ceramic sets for a fraction of the price we pay here, a part of me dies inside.
Living in Bangalore, we have some great spots, but let’s be real nothing quite matches the sheer variety (and the bargaining thrill) of Banjara. I’ve been looking for specific rustic furniture and some oversized decor pieces that just aren't available here without a "designer" markup that hurts the soul.
The Plan:
I’m seriously considering sourcing a bunch of items from Delhi/Gurgaon, but the shipping for a few individual pieces is where they get you. I was wondering if there are other decor enthusiasts here in Bangalore who are in the same boat?
If a few of us pool together, we could:
Shared Shipping/Truck: Rent a part of a container or a dedicated small truck to bring our finds down to Bangalore.
Bulk Negotiating: If we're buying multiple items through a single contact or runner, we might get even better "Banjara prices."
Safety in Numbers: Better packing and consolidated handling so things actually survive the 2,000km journey.
I’m still in the early stages of figuring out the logistics (looking at reliable packers/movers or dedicated furniture transport), but I wanted to see if there's enough interest here first.
Are any of you looking for specific pieces (mirrors, consoles, ceramics, etc.) and open to splitting the transport costs? Drop a comment or DM me if you’re interested, and maybe we can start a small WhatsApp/Telegram group to coordinate!
TL;DR: Bangalore resident wants Banjara Market (Delhi) furniture/decor. Looking for people to share a truck/shipping container to bring stuff down here.
