Kanjari Boutique

Kanjari Boutique is tucked away in 5/A Chaitanya Society. It’s in the Navrangpura area, which is pretty central. To find us, you usually have to look for the Derani Jethani ice cream shop nearby. We are also just behind the Stadium petrol pump. It’s a bit of a quiet corner compared to the main road, which is nice. The shop isn’t huge. It’s part of a residential society, so it has that neighborhood feel to it. We spend most of our time here surrounded by different fabrics and half-finished work. There’s a big table in the middle where everything happens. Sometimes the light coming through the window is just right, and other times we have to rely on the overhead tubes. We don’t have a fancy showroom. It’s more of a working space where things are constantly being moved around. You might see some thread on the floor or piles of cloth waiting to be sorted. Being near the petrol pump means we get some noise, but mostly it’s just the sound of the sewing machines or us talking. We’ve been here for a bit and the neighbors know us. It’s not a corporate environment at all. We just open up in the morning, check what needs doing, and start working. If it gets too hot, we might step out for a cold drink. It’s a simple way of running things and we like it that way.
