Zaphia Fashion Boutqe

Zaphia Fashion Boutqe is a small place located on Street No. 3 over in Sucha Singh Nagar. It’s not on a main road, so it’s usually a bit quieter than the big markets. We’ve got our racks of clothes and a couple of mirrors set up for people to try things on. It’s mostly just me and one other person working here most days. We spend a lot of time stitching and fixing things up. Sometimes the sewing machines get a bit loud, but we don't mind. People from the neighborhood usually just drop in to see what we’ve been working on. We try to keep things simple. The shop isn't very big, so we have to be careful about how much we put out at once. We’ve got some fabric rolls leaning against the wall in the back that we haven't gotten to yet. The lighting isn't the best, but it gets the job done. We’ve had this spot for a few years now. Sometimes the rain leaks a little near the front door during the monsoon, so we have to put a bucket there. It’s just part of the charm of the place, I guess. We enjoy talking to the ladies who come in to get things tailored. It feels like a little community hub sometimes. We don’t do any big advertising; people just find us by walking down the street or hearing about us from their neighbors. It is a simple life running this shop.
