Rayan Fashion Culture

Our shop is located on Rameshwaram Road. It can be a bit tricky to find because the address is New No. 76 but it used to be Old No. 19. Most of the old-timers around here still call it nineteen. We are up on the first floor. You have to take the narrow staircase on the side of the building. It’s not a huge place, just a couple of rooms filled with whatever clothes are in style lately. We call it Rayan Fashion Culture, but mostly it’s just us hanging things up and helping people try on jackets or dresses. The windows look right out onto the main road. It gets very noisy with the buses and the horns during the day. We have a small changing area in the back that we built ourselves. It’s a bit cramped. The floor is that old grey stone that stays cool even when it’s hot outside. We don't have a lot of staff, just me and my cousin. We spend a lot of time folding and refolding because people like to look through everything. Sometimes the delivery guys struggle with the stairs because they are steep. We try to keep the place tidy but with so many bags of new stock coming in, there’s usually a pile in the corner. It’s just a regular local shop. We open up at ten and usually stay until the street lights come on. It’s a decent way to spend the day. We don't worry about being polished, we just keep the doors open.
