Savithri Fashions

Savithri Fashions is located at Shop no 1-6-117 in General Bazar, Secunderabad. Hyderabad 500003 is a big area, but everyone knows General Bazar is the place for clothes. We are tucked into a spot that’s been here for years. The shop is pretty basic. We have shelves on all three sides and a counter in the middle where we show the items. It’s not one of those air-conditioned malls where everything is behind glass. Here, you can touch everything and see the colors in the natural light that comes through the door. The street outside is narrow, so the sounds of the market are always right there with us. We have a small stool in the back where we sit when there aren't any customers. We don't have a big marketing plan or anything. We just open the shop at ten and stay until eight or nine at night. Sometimes we stay later if it’s a holiday season. The walls are painted a light color, but they get dirty pretty fast with all the people coming through. We just use a broom to keep the floor clean and a cloth to wipe the dust off the plastic packets. It’s a very ordinary life here in the bazaar. We know the neighbors and the guy who sells snacks on the corner. That’s about all there is to it for us.
