Mannatt Creation

We are located right across from Elco Market on Hill Road. If you know Bandra at all, you know how busy and loud that stretch of road gets. Our shop, Mannatt Creation, is in the lane opposite the market, tucked near the Palive Hotel and right across from the Chand Bhai Palace. It’s a tiny bit hidden if you aren't looking for it, but once you find the right lane, it’s quite easy to spot us. The noise from the traffic on Hill Road never really stops, so we’ve just gotten used to the sound of rickshaws and people talking loudly. Inside the shop, it’s a bit more peaceful, though we usually have boxes of new stock sitting right in the middle of the floor. We spend our days arranging the displays and chatting with people who happen to wander in after eating at the food stalls nearby. It’s a small shop, so we have to be very careful about where we put everything so that customers can actually walk around. Sometimes the heavy monsoon rain leaks a little bit near the front door, so we always keep a plastic bucket nearby. We aren't a big chain or a corporate store, just a local business trying to keep up with the fast pace of Bandra life. We do all our own bookkeeping on a small wooden desk in the back. It’s a lot of long hours, and we usually stay open late because that’s when the street life really starts.
