Shailly Creations

If you walk down Bhagat Singh Marg near Gole Market, you’ll find us at number 71. This place in C.P. has seen a lot of changes over the years, but our little spot stays pretty much the same. We have rolls of fabric tucked into every corner and the sound of scissors cutting through cloth is the main thing you hear all day. It gets quite hot in the afternoons, especially when the sun hits the front window, so we usually keep the door propped open a bit. We aren't a big corporation with lots of rules; it’s mostly just a few of us trying to keep up with the work. Sometimes we run out of a specific thread color and someone has to run out into the market to find a match. It can be a bit chaotic when three customers come in at once, but we manage. The tables are always piled high with different projects, and there’s a constant layer of lint on everything. We don't spend money on fancy signs or advertising because word of mouth seems to work okay for us. People know where we are if they need something made or fixed. We stay until late most evenings, making sure the buttons are on tight and the seams are straight. It’s honest work, and we like being part of the noise and energy of this busy market area.
