Stallion Leather International

Our place is in Swaroop Nagar. If you walk down the main lane, you can usually smell the leather before you see the sign. It’s a strong scent, but we don't even notice it anymore. We spend our days cutting hides and sorting through piles of leather that come in from all over. The workshop is a bit crowded because we have so many tools and rolls of material tucked into every corner. It’s a bit messy, but we know where everything is kept. Working with leather is tough on your hands. They get calloused and stained from the dyes we use. Swaroop Nagar is a tight-knit kind of neighborhood, so we know most of the people running the shops nearby. We often share a meal or some tea in the afternoon when things slow down a bit. The machines we use are heavy and loud, so you have to shout to be heard sometimes. It’s not a glamorous job, but it’s what we know. We aren't doing anything fancy, just putting in the hours and making sure the leather is handled properly. Some days are longer than others, especially when a big shipment arrives and we have to unload it all by ourselves. We have some old wooden benches where we sit for a bit in the evening. We just keep our heads down and get through the pile. It’s just regular work for regular people and a simple leather shop, nothing more than that.
