Gopi Leather Corporation

Our shop, Gopi Leather Corporation, is on M.G. Road, right near Kothari Market. If you walk down that way, you can’t miss the smell of leather. It’s a strong, earthy scent that stays with you. We have all sorts of leather items around us all day. The shop is on a busy stretch of the road, so there’s a constant stream of people and cars going by. Inside, it’s a bit darker because we keep the sun off the goods. We have shelves lined with stock and some pieces hanging from the ceiling. It’s not a very big place, but we make the most of it. We spend our time checking the quality of the hides and making sure everything is stored right. Sometimes it gets a bit cramped when we have a lot of customers at once. Near Kothari Market, everyone is always in a hurry. We try to keep a steady pace ourselves. We’ve seen the road change over the years, new shops coming and old ones going, but we are still here. We aren't the type to put up big flashing signs. We just have our name and we do our business. It’s a practical way to live. The floor is a bit worn from all the feet walking on it, but that just shows we’ve been here a while. We take pride in just doing the work well and keeping the shop open every day for those who need us.
