Varuna Jithesh

You can find us over at Plot 800 in Defence Colony, right on the third floor above the Bank of India. It’s a pretty easy landmark to spot if you’re looking for us, and the address is listed twice on some of our old paperwork for some reason. We’ve been working out of this space for some time now, and it has a bit of a lived-in feel to it. There are usually sketches, fabric scraps, and measuring tapes scattered around the place. We do design work, mostly focusing on clothes that people actually want to wear. It’s not a big factory or a high-end showroom with marble floors. It’s just our workspace where we get things done. We spend a lot of time talking to people about what they need for a wedding or a special event. Sometimes the sewing machines are going all day, and other times it’s just quiet while we figure out a pattern or work on a new design. Defence Colony is a nice neighborhood to be in, and being on the third floor gives us a bit of a view of the street below. We don't really have a big philosophy or anything like that. We just like making things that look good and fit right. Our team is small, and we’ve all known each other for years, which makes the long days a bit easier. It’s just us, some fabric, and a lot of hard work every day.
