Priyadarshini Boutique

Priyadarshini Boutique is on Rajendra Bag Road in Serampore. Actually, if you look at the address it says Serampur a few times, but everyone here just calls it Serampore. It’s an old town with a lot of history and our shop is right in the middle of it. The road gets pretty busy during the school hours because there are kids everywhere. We have a small space where we keep all our things. It’s not a big showroom with fancy lights. It’s more like a workshop where we keep the machines and the cloth. We spend most of our mornings drinking tea and getting started on the orders. Serampore is the kind of place where everyone knows everyone’s business, so we get a lot of people dropping by just because they saw the door open. We don't have a big marketing plan or anything. We just sit here on Rajendra Bag Road and do our work. Sometimes the humidity makes everything feel heavy, but that’s just West Bengal for you. We’ve seen the neighborhood change over the years, but the boutique stays pretty much the same. We just keep on with what we know. It is a simple life and a simple business. We aren't trying to be the biggest shop in town, just a place that does its job and stays open. Most days that is enough for us.
