Jaipuri Nagara Shoes & Handicrafts Collection

We are located at No. 254- 255 in Chandi Ke Taksal. It’s right in the heart of the old city area. If you’ve been here, you know how narrow the lanes can get and how many people are always moving about. Jaipuri Nagara Shoes & Handicrafts Collection is a bit of a tight squeeze. We have shoes hanging from the walls and handicrafts tucked into every available shelf. It’s a bit messy, but we know where everything is. The bells from the nearby temples and the honking of scooters are the soundtrack to our day. We spend a lot of time talking to folks who stop by while they’re exploring the market. It’s a lot of manual work, lifting boxes and showing different sizes to people. We don't have a computer system or anything like that. We just use a paper notebook to keep track of what we sell. The floors are old stone and they’ve seen a lot of feet over the years. We usually sit on the floor or on low stools while we work. It’s just how things have always been done in this part of Jaipur. We enjoy the chaos of the market. Sometimes the rain leaks in a little near the front, but we just put a bucket down and keep going. It’s an honest way to spend the day. People ask us how we find things in the clutter, and we just laugh because it’s our system.
