The Handicrafts And Handlooms Exports Corporation Of India Ltd

Our office for The Handicrafts And Handlooms Exports Corporation Of India Ltd is up on the second floor at 176, New Cloth Market. It’s a busy building with people carrying bundles of fabric up and down the stairs all day. We have been in this market for a long time. The space is filled with samples of different weaves and handmade items. It’s not always the tidiest place because we have so many different things coming in from different regions. We spend a lot of time on the phone or writing out orders by hand. The air in the market is always a bit thick with the smell of new cotton and dyes. We have a few old fans that keep the air moving, but it’s still pretty stuffy in the summer. We aren't a modern office with glass walls. We have wooden shelves and old ledgers. It feels like a traditional place because that’s what we deal with. Every day we see the same people in the hallways. We don't have a fancy entrance, just a door at the end of the corridor. We focus on the textiles and the crafts that come through here. It’s a lot of sorting and checking. We just do our work and stay part of the market community. The lighting in the hallways is a bit dim, but we know the way around. We keep things moving, one shipment at a time.
