Hasti Creation

Our place, Hasti Creation, is tucked away in Karmanghat, Hyderabad. We are near the Green Park Colony Arch, which is a pretty well-known landmark if you live around here. The address is actually a house number, so it is a bit more of a personal setup than those big malls you see in the city center. We work out of this space every day, surrounded by thread, needles, and a lot of fabric. It is a quiet neighborhood for the most part, except for the usual sounds of the street and children playing nearby. We started this because we liked making things, and now it has just become our daily routine. People from the colony walk over when they need something made or if they want to see the latest designs we have been working on. It is not always perfectly organized; sometimes there are scraps of cloth on the floor and our notebooks are full of scribbled measurements. We do not have a professional receptionist or anything. You just walk in and talk to whoever is at the table. Often, we are busy with a sewing machine or marking out a pattern on a piece of bright cloth. It is a simple way to make a living, and we like being part of the local community here near the arch. The days go by fast when you are focused on getting a sleeve right or picking the right color.
