Vijay Bags

Vijay Bags is located at 215 Brahmpuri, right across from the Bhartiya Puratatav Vibhag. Being opposite a government building means there is always a lot of activity on the street. Our shop is filled with the sound of sewing machines and the smell of new fabric. We spend our time cutting patterns and stitching zippers onto different types of bags. It gets a bit crowded inside with all the rolls of material and the finished stock waiting to be moved. We aren't a big factory; it is just a few of us working together to get the orders done. Some days we are making simple tote bags, and other times it is something more complicated with lots of pockets. We sit on our stools for hours, making sure the seams are straight. The light coming through the front door is usually enough to work by until the evening. We know the tea seller across the road quite well because he brings us tea twice a day. People stop by to ask for repairs on their old bags, and we usually do it while they wait. We don't have a website or anything like that. We just rely on the fact that we have been in Brahmpuri for years. It’s a regular routine of thread, needles, and fabric that keeps us going from Monday to Saturday. Most people just walk in and tell us what they need.
