Jaipur Leather Associates

Shop No. 32 on M I Road is where you’ll find us. It’s a busy stretch of road, as everyone knows. Jaipur Leather Associates has been tucked away here for quite some time. The shop isn't huge, but it fits everything we need. You can usually smell the leather as soon as you step inside. It's that heavy, earthy scent that stays on your clothes all day. We spend a lot of time organizing things on the shelves. Sometimes it feels like we’re running out of room, but we manage. M I Road is always loud with traffic and people walking by, so there’s never a dull moment. We see all kinds of people coming in. Some are just looking, others know exactly what they want. We don't do much talking unless someone asks a question. Most of the work involves checking the stock and making sure everything is where it should be. The lighting in the back is a bit dim, but we’re used to it. It’s just a regular local business. We open up early and stay until the street starts to quiet down a bit. It’s not a glamorous job, but it’s what we do. We’ve seen the neighbors change over the years, but we’re still here at number 32. It’s a bit cramped when we get a shipment in, but we make do with the space we have. There’s a small desk where we keep the books, and that’s about it for the office. It is what it is.
