Excel Fashionz

Excel Fashionz is at No. 82C Dr Sudhir Basu Road in Khidderpore. We are right across from the Body Guard headquarters and very close to the Laxmi Mandir. Because of the temple, the street gets very crowded on certain days of the week, and we see a lot of people passing by. Our shop is full of clothes for men and boys, mostly packed into every available bit of shelf space. The floor is made of old tiles, and one or two are a bit loose, so we put a heavy mat over them. It is a noisy place to work because of the trucks going toward the docks and the bells from the temple, but we are used to it by now. We don't have a lot of people working here, just me and a young boy who helps out with the cleaning and carrying bags. We have a big metal shutter that is quite a struggle to pull down every night. We don't bother with fancy window displays; we just put a couple of shirts on the mannequins out front. One of our mannequins is missing a hand, but we just cover it with a long sleeve. The shopkeepers next to us are good people, and we often share tea or watch each other's stores if someone needs to step out for a bit. It’s a simple, hardworking community here in Khidderpore.
