Artex Apparels Pvt. Ltd.

If you know Kapasia Bazar, you know how crowded it gets near Kalupur Circle. That’s where our place, Aranda Hall, is situated at 641/54. It’s an old building, but it has a lot of character and plenty of space for the sewing machines. Being in Ahmedabad 380002 means we are right in the middle of all the textile action. The stairs are a bit narrow, so moving heavy rolls of fabric up to our floor is always a bit of a workout for the guys. We spend most of our day surrounded by thread, scissors, and piles of cut cloth. It gets quite loud when all the machines are running at once, but you get used to it after a week or two. There is a tea stall just around the corner where we usually grab a quick break in the afternoon. The light in the workshop isn't always perfect, but we make it work. Most of us have been working in apparel for years, so it's just second nature now. We don't have a big fancy lobby or anything like that. It is just a place where clothes get made. Every evening, the finished pieces are packed into boxes and stacked by the entrance. It's a lot of repetitive work, but there is a certain satisfaction in seeing the stacks grow by the end of the day. The market outside starts to wind down late, and that is when we finally lock up.
