Clothing markets have acquired not unimportant importance among the population of Russia. Approximately 75% of clothing sales come from these markets. And the popularity of clothing markets is not declining. If in large cities large shopping centers began to somewhat crowd out clothing markets, then in small towns and villages these markets are sometimes the only place where people can buy the necessary things. Goods in clothing markets are mainly foreign-made: from China, Turkey. Saturate these markets with goods, as usual, "shuttles". Such large wholesale markets enjoy special attention among the "shuttle traders". These include - "Laleli", "Kapali Charshi", "Merter" in Turkey, "Yabao Lu", "Silk Market" in China, "Dordoi" in Kyrgyzstan, market "The Seventh Kilometer" in Odessa. This list can be long enumerated. Many Russians themselves prefer to go abroad to dress up. It is very important to be able to bargain in the market. Usually sellers call rather high prices. It would also help to know that in such markets, where there is a fairly high density of people, you need to be very vigilant in relation to your wallet with money.

China. In Beijing, Yabao Lu is a popular clothing market. The locals called it the "Russian Market", as the main buyers are Russians. All signs are made in Russian, so it is very easy for the Russian "shuttle" to navigate here. The prices on this are pretty low. Any goods here are bought mainly in bulk. Russian "shuttle traders" who buy goods in large quantities enjoy more attention from sellers than those who wish to purchase goods in small quantities. The next famous clothing market in Beijing is the Silk Market (Ksyushui). This market is somewhat inferior in scale to the Yabao Lu market, but the quality of goods here is much higher. As in any clothing market, here you can buy clothes, shoes, bags, fabrics, and many other things. In terms of cost, some goods here are ten times cheaper than in Russia.

Turkey. Turkish clothing markets have been attracting Russians since the emergence of the "shuttle traffic" in the 90s. Turkey has rather low customs duties on exported goods, which attracts Russian "shuttle traders". The most attractive was the Laleli market in Istanbul. Here is the largest concentration of outlets where you can buy goods ranging from consumer goods to luxury. Quality goods here are much cheaper, somewhere around 50 percent, than in Russia. The Istanbul bazaar "Kapali Charshi" is not inferior to this market. It is a small market town with 4,000 shops. Under the canopies of the market there are their own streets and quarters, along which these shops are located. There is also a Merter district in Istanbul, where they sell mainly branded clothing. Turkish garment workers make replicas of branded clothes much better than Chinese garment workers do.

Kyrgyzstan. The Dordoi clothing market is one of the largest in Central Asia. During the period of its existence, since December 1991, this market has become a favorite place for "shuttle traders" in the post-Soviet territory. With more than 12 thousand container outlets, this market sells goods brought not only from China, Turkey, the United Arab Emirates, Iran, but also from Europe: Poland, Italy, Holland, England. The market is located within the city of Bishkek. Clothing, shoes in a huge assortment. In addition, here you can buy high-quality equipment, household appliances and much more.

Ukraine. The large clothing market of Ukraine "The Seventh Kilometer" is located in Odessa, in a city that has always been famous for its famous trading traditions. The very name of the market determines its location relative to the city. Here you can buy the desired item at a fairly reasonable price. The market is filled with goods imported from almost all of Europe, Turkey, China, South Korea, India, Japan, and a number of other countries.

Moscow. The Russian capital, updating its modern look, is gradually transforming its clothing markets into more civilized shopping complexes, which are also equally popular with Muscovites and guests of the capital. High-quality fur coats, sheepskin coats and leather goods can be bought at the clothing market "Fair Konkovo", "Tushinsky Market". The market "Petrovsko-Razumovsky" is one of the famous and large clothing markets in Moscow. Not inferior in popularity is the Izmailovsky clothing market, which has the largest assortment of Chinese goods. Markets "Water Stadium", "Gardener", "Slavic World" are considered fairly inexpensive clothing markets, and are also popular with the population. Shopping malls such as the Moskva shopping center and the Mezhdunarodny shopping center successfully combine both civilized trade and the style of a clothing market that is usual for buyers. Thus, attracting more and more buyers.

Shopping is an integral part of every person's life. You need to find not only money and time for it, but also the most suitable place. Relatively "lazy" buyers of the big city today prefer to make online orders due to the fact that the desired goods can be selected without getting up from the couch and at minimal prices. This attitude towards updates often leads to frustration and wasted time. What to do if trendy shopping centers with branded boutiques are too expensive, and virtual purchases do not bring the desired result? Of course, go to the market and find everything you need there!

The Sadovod market, or, as it is also called, the follower of the Cherkizovsky market, is located at 14 km of the Moscow Ring Road. It received such an unspoken name due to the fact that most of the entrepreneurs moved here from the now defunct most famous market of the capital.

On an area of ​​60 hectares, several shopping areas are equipped at once, which differ in their purpose and level of comfort. On such a large territory you can buy clothes, shoes, various accessories and household goods. Equipped with air-conditioning, decorated interiors and much more, the pavilions here exceed all the expectations of a typical buyer and will be a pleasant surprise for sophisticated shopaholics.

A distinctive feature of Dubrovka is the constant presence of a jewelry exhibition where you can find original jewelry made of precious metals and stones. Even famous masters come here to present their original works.

Clothing market "South Gate"

The South Gate is almost a country market where you can make wholesale and retail purchases. Its location can be called both a disadvantage and an advantage.

Market "Slavic World"

This clothing market is located near the metro station "Teply Stan", along the Kaluga highway (500 m from the Moscow Ring Road). Its main line of work is the sale of building materials, but consumer goods can often be found at fairs.

But, nevertheless, the markets continue to exist, changing their location or acquiring the form of shopping malls.

A trading area with many tents and sheds, or directly in the open air, allows you to quickly find the necessary goods. The markets of the capital are, to some extent, an analogue of the oriental bazaars in Moscow. Here you can buy almost any product at fairly reasonable prices.

Conventionally, all markets in Moscow are divided into several categories, namely: clothing, construction, markets selling agricultural products, food markets. Here the buyer can purchase goods, both wholesale and retail.

clothing markets

Clothing markets in Moscow offer a fairly wide range of women's, men's and children's clothing, shoes, hats, outerwear, bags, and household goods.

As for the established opinion that prices are cheaper in the markets, this is a rather controversial issue. Often, it is on the clothing market that you can very badly miscalculate with the price, especially if the seller comes across a “competent” one. So, in terms of price, the not entirely true stereotype works here, which is cheaper in the market, and more expensive in the store.

The demand for markets can be explained by the convenience of choice when all goods are collected in one place. For many people, this provides a certain convenience, especially when going shopping for no specific purpose, just what is called "dressing up." In addition, many people often have difficulty finding the right size. For this reason, many people still prefer going to the market instead of boutiques in shopping centers. here, if necessary, the desired size or thing will be "taken out of the ground."

To date, many well-known markets have been closed or renamed (Izmailovsky, Luzhniki market, Petrovsko-Razumovsky, etc.), but many others have been opened, no less and no worse than the previous ones.

Clothing wholesale and retail market located at 41 km of the Moscow Ring Road, it was built on the territory of the construction market "Melnitsy". It consists of two parts - construction (was originally) and clothing wholesale and retail (goods from Russia, the CIS, Vietnam, China, Korea).

Price level: blouses from 300 rubles, women's dresses from 700 rubles, jeans from 1000 rubles, swimwear from 800 rubles, T-shirts about 300 rubles, men's swimming trunks about 300 rubles, underwear 50-200 rubles, bathrobes from 250 rubles. The market "Slavic world" free parking, which operates around the clock and is guarded for all modes of transport.

food markets

Food markets deserve special attention. Compared to the clothing markets, whose ranks of fans are gradually thinning in large cities, food markets continue to be popular. Visitors to collective farm and food markets are not only residents of nearby areas, or people who have not yet appreciated the convenience and profitability of purchases in large stores, but even the most demanding customers, those who know how to appreciate not the colorful packaging of supermarkets, but fresh and high-quality goods. By the way, even large restaurants buy products in the markets.

Indeed, on the market you can find the largest range of fresh products, at prices cheaper than store-bought. As for prices, then of course it is worth mentioning that depending on the specific market, they can vary greatly. And the location of the market plays an important role. For example, if the market is located in the center of Moscow or in close proximity to metro stations, then prices there will be very high. It is always better to prefer such large stores as Auchan, Okay, Real, Karusel, etc. to such roars. - in terms of price, the benefit will be undeniable.

The largest food market in the center of Moscow is (m. Kyiv, Mozhaisky Val, 10). The shopping malls at this place have been known since 1938. Here you can buy a wide variety of products that are sometimes not found anywhere else. True, due to its location and some "cult" and "elite" this market cannot be classified as cheap. Chefs of famous Moscow restaurants are bought here. The Dorogomilovsky market is especially famous for meat (in particular, lamb from Kalmykia and the North Caucasus), fish and seafood from almost all seas, and of course herbs, various spices, etc.

Price level: flour - 25 rubles / kg, potatoes - 8 rubles / kg, sugar - 28 rubles / kg, beef - 383 rubles / kg.

Construction markets in Moscow are still finding their customers, despite serious competition from large construction hypermarkets. As for prices, they will be much higher in the markets than in large stores, since a large seller, due to the large turnover of goods, has the opportunity to set lower prices. But, nevertheless, in large hardware stores, the assortment is often strictly limited, and because of this, it is not always possible to find some goods here, for example, some components. In addition, the assortment for specific types of goods in the markets is much wider, because. in the store it will be only a department, but on the market you can find many stores specializing specifically in a particular product.

Another famous radio market that still exists today is , located at the address: Bagrationovsky proezd, house. 7. Opening hours of "Gorbushka" - from 10 am to 9 pm seven days a week.

Flea markets

In the so-called flea markets, you can buy clothes, books, household items, antiques, and various metals. Flea markets are a favorite place for collectors, antique dealers, collectors of rare items.

As mentioned above, the Moscow government is actively fighting spontaneous markets. In this regard, there are practically no permanent flea markets left in Moscow, and those that remain have acquired an official status. There was even a group
