Jain Textile

Jain Textile is our little shop located at number 629 in Dwarkesh Gully. We are right in the middle of Mulji Jetha Market in Kalbadevi. If you’ve ever been to this market, you know it’s a maze of narrow lanes and hundreds of shops. It is always packed with people and porters carrying huge bales of cloth on their backs. Our shop is just one of many, but we’ve been here long enough to know the neighbors well. We mostly deal with different kinds of fabrics. The shelves are stacked high with rolls of cloth, almost reaching the ceiling. It can be a bit cramped when a few customers come in at the same time. We usually have to move things around just to find a place for someone to sit. Kalbadevi is a very old part of the city, so the buildings have a lot of history. The walls in our shop could probably tell some stories if they could talk. We open up early in the morning because that’s when the market starts moving. It stays busy until late in the evening. There is a certain rhythm to life in Mulji Jetha Market that you don't find anywhere else. We don’t have a website or anything like that. People just walk in and look at what we have. It’s the old-fashioned way of doing business, and it seems to work fine for us. It gets noisy and dusty but this is where we have been for years.
