Lolu Collar Store

You can find the Lolu Collar Store over at No. 1 Muniappan Street in Sowcarpet. If you know Sowcarpet, you know how crowded and narrow the streets can get. Our shop is tucked away in there, surrounded by all the hustle and bustle of the local markets. We specialize in collars and related items, something we have been doing for years. The shop is small and filled with stock from floor to ceiling. It can feel a bit cramped when there are more than two customers inside, but that is just how it is in this part of town. We don't have air conditioning or fancy displays. Instead, we have shelves and boxes that we know like the back of our hands. Most of our customers are tailors or people from the garment trade who need specific supplies. We spend our days sorting through materials and talking to regular folks who stop by. Sometimes the street gets so blocked with carts and bikes that it is hard to get through, but we like the energy of it. It is a very old way of doing business, face-to-face and with a lot of haggling over the price. We don't have a website or a marketing person. We just open the shutters in the morning and wait for the regulars to show up. It is a simple life, and it keeps us connected to the history of Muniappan Street.
