Krishna's Boutique

Krishna's Boutique is located in Shop No. 2 of the Chitra Building on Shantilal Modi Road. We are directly opposite S. V. P. College in Kandivali West, so we see a lot of students walking past our window every single day. The shop is quite small, but we have managed to fit a lot of colorful threads and fabrics into every available corner. Usually, you can find me sitting near the front with a measuring tape around my neck, trying to figure out a difficult stitch. We have a big mirror in the back that is slightly tilted, but it’s been that way since we moved in. People come to us when they need something fixed or made for a special occasion, and we usually have a long list of orders pinned to the wall. The street outside is always noisy with rickshaws and vendors calling out, which makes the boutique feel very alive. Sometimes the college kids pop in just to see what we are making, even if they aren't buying anything. We have a small fan that rattles a bit when it's on high speed, but it's a necessity in the Mumbai humidity. It’s a busy little shop and we often stay late to finish up a hem or add some buttons to a shirt. We don't do much promotion because the neighborhood knows where we are and what we do. It’s just a simple life of needles and thread.
