Mellon Fashion

Being located at 382 Kalbadevi Road, right near Dabulkar Wadi, means there is never a dull moment. Mellon Fashion is tucked into this busy stretch, and honestly, it’s a bit of a squeeze inside. We have boxes of new arrivals stacked up almost to the ceiling most weeks. My brother and I run the place together. We usually get here early before the traffic on Kalbadevi Road gets too crazy. If you come by, you’ll likely see one of us sorting through fabric or checking the latest stock that came in. We don’t have those polished displays you see in the big malls. It’s just rows of clothes on hangers and us behind the wooden counter. The ceiling fan makes a bit of a clicking noise, but we’ve stopped noticing it after all these years. Customers just pop in off the street, looking for something that fits right and doesn't cost too much. We don’t do much talking unless someone asks a specific question about a size. The floor is a bit scuffed from all the foot traffic over the years, but it doesn't bother us. We’ve been at this address for a long time now. The neighborhood around Dabulkar Wadi has changed a lot, but we’re still doing the same basic thing every day. It’s a lot of standing around and waiting, then a sudden rush of people. It’s just how it goes here.
