Noshad Foot Craft

Noshad Foot Craft is located at 1050 Ramganj Bazar. It’s a small shop in a very crowded part of the market. You can hear the noise from the street all day long while we work. We focus on footwear here. There are piles of soles and leather scraps everywhere you look. We have been in this spot for a long time. The walls could use a new coat of paint, but we are usually too busy to worry about that. People come in looking for something sturdy to wear. We show them what we have on the shelves. Sometimes we are working on a specific pair for someone and they have to wait a bit. It’s not a high-end boutique. It's a place where we get our hands dirty. The light in the back of the shop isn't great, so we do the fine work near the front door where the sun hits. Ramganj Bazar is always full of energy and we are right in the middle of it. We know the neighbors well and often share a cup of chai while things are quiet. My brother handles some of the cutting and I do the stitching. It's a basic setup but it works for us. We don't use big computers or fancy software to keep track of things. We just write it down in a notebook and hope for the best. Sometimes the pen runs out and we have to borrow one from the guy next door.
