Mukesh Tailors

Our shop, Mukesh Tailors, is located in Chawl No 96, specifically in Room No 769. We are over in Goregaon West in the Punyai Nagar area, which is quite close to Best Colony. It’s a small space, like most of the rooms around here, and it’s usually filled with fabric scraps and different colored threads. The sewing machine makes a lot of noise all day long, but the neighbors are used to it by now. We do all sorts of stitching work, mostly just fixing up clothes or making new shirts and pants when people bring us their cloth. People from the colony come in with torn pockets or zippers that don’t work, and we fix them while they wait or tell them to come back tomorrow. It’s a humble setup, but it’s what we’ve got. The street outside can get pretty narrow and loud, especially in the evenings when everyone is coming home from work. We don't have any big advertisements or a storefront window. Most of our work comes from people just walking by or neighbors who have known us for years. We just sit here and sew. Some days are busier than others, especially when there’s a wedding coming up in Punyai Nagar. We just focus on the needles and the thread and making sure the measurements are right. That’s about all there is to it here at the shop.
