Treasure Island Mall on MG Road gets overshadowed by DB City and C21, but insiders know it offers better value for mid-range fashion.
The mall’s anchor store, Reliance Trends, is one of the city’s largest outlets. Their private labels (Netplay, Teamspirit, Fusion Beats) offer trendy western wear at Rs.400-1,200. Quality is comparable to branded stores at 40% lower prices. The denim section is particularly strong ?” fits that actually work for Indian body types.
Ground floor also houses Brand Factory, which is essentially a permanent discount store for last season’s branded inventory. You’ll find Lee, Wrangler, Arrow, and Allen Solly at 30-60% below regular retail. Stock is hit-or-miss; visit fortnightly if hunting specific items.
First floor has smaller boutiques and local brands ?” this is Treasure Island’s hidden strength. Shops like Ethnic Aura and Indore Collections stock Indo-fusion wear you won’t find in bigger malls. Kurta-palazzo sets with contemporary cuts at Rs.800-1,500, perfect for young professionals.
The footwear section (ground floor near entrance) offers Metro, Mochi, and local brands. Wait for their monthly clearance (first week of each month) where previous collections drop to Rs.600-1,000 from Rs.1,800-2,500.
Food court is basic but parking is easier and cheaper than DB City (Rs.30 for 4 hours). The mall is less crowded even on weekends, making it ideal for unhurried shopping.
Pro tip: Thursday evenings see fresh stock arrivals at Reliance Trends. Be among the first to browse new collections before sizes run out. Sign up for the Payback loyalty program ?” you’ll earn points across multiple stores.
