Anamika Creations

You can find us at 16 Dattatray Road in Santa Cruz West. It’s a relatively quiet street compared to the main market area, but there’s still plenty going on. We do creative work here, mostly focusing on fabrics and designs. The space is filled with rolls of cloth, threads of every color, and sketches pinned to the walls. It’s a bit of a mess sometimes, but it’s a productive mess. We aren't a big factory; we’re more of a small workshop where we can pay attention to the details. The people who work here really know their craft. We’ve been in Santa Cruz for a long time and we like the vibe of the neighborhood. Often, you’ll find us sitting around a large table, looking at new patterns or trying to figure out a better way to finish a piece. We don't have a fancy showroom. If someone wants to see what we do, they just come into the workspace and look at what we’re currently making. It’s a very hands-on job. We have our regulars who come to us because they know we don’t rush things. We don’t use a lot of fancy technology either; a lot of it is still done by hand or with old, reliable machines. It’s just us doing what we know how to do, day in and day out, in our little corner of Santa Cruz.
