Shalimar Tanneries Pvt. Ltd.

If you walk down Tirrata Bazar Street and look for number 10, you’ll find us. Shalimar Tanneries Pvt. Ltd. has been operating out of this old building for quite some time now. It’s not the quietest place to work, especially when the trucks are coming in and out of the narrow street. The air always has that heavy, earthy scent that comes with tanning leather. We’ve got a system down, even if it looks a bit messy to someone just walking in from the street. The floors are stained, and the walls could probably use a fresh coat of paint, but we’re too busy for that. Most of the people here have been with us for years. We’ve seen the neighborhood change, but our little corner stays mostly the same. We handle the skins, process them, and get them ready for whoever needs them next. There’s a lot of water and salt involved, and it can get pretty messy on the floor. We don’t have a website with flashy photos or anything. Most people find us just by knowing we’ve been here forever. Sometimes the machines break down and we have to fix them ourselves with whatever tools are handy. It’s a lot of manual labor and standing on your feet all day. But we’re used to it. It’s just what we do here at number 10. We don't try to be anything we aren't, we just focus on the leather.
