Swathi Boutique

Swathi Boutique is our little shop located over in Palvancha, within the Khammam district. It’s not a huge place, but we managed to fit everything we need inside. I spend most of my time behind the counter or sitting at the sewing machine in the corner. There are always rolls of cloth leaning against the walls and scraps of colorful fabric on the floor. It’s a bit messy, but that’s how a working boutique usually looks when things are getting made. People from around Palvancha come in to get things fitted or to see what new materials we’ve brought in. I like picking out the patterns and figuring out how to make them fit just right for each person. It’s a lot of fine work, which can be hard on the eyes after a few hours, but I enjoy it. My sister helps me out on the weekends when it gets extra busy with families coming in. We don't have a big sign or anything flashy, just the name on the door and the mannequins in the window. Khammam is a good area and we have a lot of regular faces who stop by just to say hello even if they don't need any sewing done that day. We try to keep things simple and just focus on the clothes and the customers. It’s a nice little business that keeps us active and connected to the people living nearby.
