Nav Nath Leather

Nav Nath Leather is tucked away in the Shastri Nagar area of Dharavi. It is a place that never really sleeps. There is always the sound of someone working or people talking right outside the door. We have been here for a long time and the neighborhood knows us well. Our workshop isn't anything fancy. It is a bit dark inside and smells like leather and glue, but that is the reality of the work we do every day. We don't have a big marketing budget or a website that looks professional. Most people just find us by walking through the streets or hearing about us from a neighbor. The space is filled with scraps and tools. We spend a lot of time sitting on small stools and working with our hands. It gets very hot in Dharavi during the summer months, so we have a few old fans that keep the air moving. We aren't trying to be a big global brand. We just want to make decent leather goods that people can actually use. Some days are very long and we work late into the night to finish an order. Other days are slower and we spend time chatting with the other workers in the lane. It is a simple life and we are used to the noise and the crowd. That is just how things are at Nav Nath Leather in Shastri Nagar.
