Sai Boutique

We’ve been running Sai Boutique here in Abhay Nagar for a good while now. It’s a small place, right near Anand Bhavan School, so we get a lot of parents and kids walking past every day. Usually, it's just us sitting here with the machines, working on whatever fabric someone brought in that morning. Sometimes it gets a bit crowded when people come in for their fittings all at once, but we manage. We don’t have fancy displays or anything like that. It’s mostly just rolls of thread, some scissors, and the work on the table. Most people around here know where we are. If you’re walking toward the school, you can’t really miss us. We do a bit of everything, from fixing a loose button to making something new from scratch. It’s a busy life, especially during wedding seasons or festivals when everyone wants their stuff done yesterday. The tea shop nearby keeps us going in the afternoons. Sometimes the power goes out and we have to wait a bit, but that’s just how things are in this part of town. We keep things simple and try to get the stitching right. It’s not a big fancy showroom, just a shop where we work hard and hope people like the clothes they take home. We’ve known some of our customers for years, seeing their kids grow up while they come in for school uniform alterations or festive outfits. It feels like part of the neighborhood. We usually close up around eight in the evening.
