Lotusline Clothing Private Limited

We are based in T. Nagar, which everyone knows is the heart of shopping in Chennai. Our address is 4/1 on Kannadasan Street, right near the busy parts but just far enough that it’s not totally impossible to find a spot for a scooter. Lotusline Clothing has been operating out of this space for a good while. The rooms are a bit small and the ceilings are low, but it stays relatively cool because of the old construction. We have rows of machines and everyone is usually busy sewing or checking the finishing on the garments. It’s a lot of manual work and your back starts to ache by five o'clock. We don't have a big fancy showroom or anything. If someone wants to see what we make, they just come into the work area and we show them what is on the racks. The tea man comes by twice a day and that is usually the highlight of the morning. T. Nagar is always noisy with horns and people shouting, so we usually have the radio playing some old songs to drown it out. It’s a very practical way of working. We don't use big words or have long meetings. We just look at the orders, see what fabric we have, and get to it. Some days the power goes out and we just sit outside on the steps until it comes back.
