Heritage Textiles & Handicrafts

Our place is located at No. 10 on Gangapole Road, right across from Mahar House. If you know where Jorawar Singh Gate is, you can’t miss us. It’s a very old part of the city, so the streets are narrow and always full of noise. Heritage Textiles & Handicrafts isn't a new business; we’ve been around these gates for a long time. The walls of our shop are thick and the ceilings are high, which helps keep the heat out during the summer months. We deal with a lot of traditional prints and hand-made items that come in from the villages. Everything arrives in big bundles that we have to sort through on the floor. It’s messy work. There is always dust in the air from the textiles. We spend our mornings checking the inventory and talking to the craftsmen who drop off their work. We don't have a website that works very well, so most people just come to the door. The sign outside is a bit faded from the sun, but people know we are here. Sometimes the traffic on Gangapole Road makes it hard for deliveries to reach us, but we make do. We have a small back room where we store the older pieces. It's a bit of a maze back there. We don't try to act like a big company because we aren't one. We're just people working near the gate, selling what the local artisans make.
