Sampoorna D'Zines

Our shop is on Thindlu Main Road, right across from the petrol bunk at Nanjappa Circle. It’s on the first floor, so you have to walk up the narrow stairs to find us. We do a lot of design work here, mostly focused on clothes and custom tailoring. You’ll see fabrics draped over chairs and colorful threads everywhere because we’re always right in the middle of a project. It’s not a fancy showroom where everything is perfectly placed. It looks like a place where people actually work and get their hands dirty. We spend a lot of time with measuring tapes and tailors' chalk. Sometimes a design doesn't turn out quite right the first time we try it, so we have to unpick the stitches and start all over again. That’s just how it goes with handmade stuff. People from around Vidyaranyapura come in with their own ideas, and we try to make something that actually fits them. It’s loud sometimes with three or four sewing machines going all at once. We don't have a big marketing team or anyone to answer the phones. It's just us and our machines. We like being near the circle because it’s easy for people to find us, even if the traffic noise is a bit much. It’s a small, busy space, but it’s where we do our work. We just keep our heads down and keep sewing every day.
