SHERIFF SHERWANI

Down in Johari Bazar, things stay pretty loud and busy all day long. We are SHERIFF SHERWANI and our shop is tucked away at Marshal 181 on Gheewalon Ka Rasta. It’s one of those narrow lanes where everyone knows everyone else. We spend most of our time working on the sherwanis, sitting among the cloth and the thread. It gets dusty, and the tea guy comes around twice a day which is always a good break from the sewing. People find us because they know the area or they just wander in from the main bazar looking for something for a wedding. It’s not a huge place, just enough room for the racks and a small place for people to try things on. Sometimes the lights flicker when it rains, but we just keep going. Johari Bazar has that old feeling, and our spot on Gheewalon Ka Rasta is no different. We aren't trying to be some big brand or anything like that. We just make the clothes and talk to the people who come in. My hands are usually covered in some kind of thread or chalk from marking the patterns on the fabric. It's a lot of sitting and standing, back and forth all day. The shop has been there for a while and the walls could probably use a new coat of paint, but it works for what we do. It's a simple life at Sheriff Sherwani.
