Patel Handloom

Our little place is Shop No - 55. It’s one of those spots that’s easy to walk past if you aren’t looking for it. We’ve been here at Patel Handloom for quite some time now. The space is small, filled up with rolls and folded things. We spend most of our morning just tidying up the shelves. It’s a lot of manual work, moving things around so we can actually see what’s in stock. The lighting inside isn't the brightest, but it gets the job done. We keep the door open most of the day to let some air in. You can hear the noise from the hallway or the street depending on where the shop sits in the block. It’s just a simple shop. Nothing fancy about the walls or the floor. We have a small desk where we keep the books and handle the money. Sometimes it gets crowded when more than two people are inside. We don't have a big staff. It's usually just one or two of us here at Shop No - 55. We know where every single item is tucked away. It’s a bit of a maze sometimes, especially when a new shipment arrives and we have to find space for it. The walls are lined with whatever we have on hand. It’s a quiet life most of the time. We just wait for folks to stop by and browse through the stacks.
