N Square Handicraft

Down in Gali Parcha Chowk, you can find us at Shop No. 1, 307/22. This area is always full of people moving around, and the lanes are pretty narrow. N Square Handicraft is a bit cramped because we have so many things stacked up on the shelves. We deal with all sorts of handmade items, so there is usually the smell of wood or polish in the air. We spend hours unpacking crates and checking if anything got broken during the trip here. It is not a bright, modern store; the lighting is a bit dim and the floor tiles are cracked in a few places. We know most of the other shopkeepers around the chowk, and we often share tea while waiting for customers. Some days are slow and we just sit there dusting the items, while other days we have people from out of town looking for something specific to take home. We don't have a fancy website or anything like that. We just write down the sales in a big ledger and wrap the items in old newspaper or bubble wrap if we have it. It is just a regular shop where we try to sell things that people have put effort into making. It is a bit dusty and chaotic, but it is how we run things here every day.
