One Up Collection

We have a small shop, number 27, inside the Zaveri Building on JB Marg. Parel East is a bit of an old-school area, and our street is no exception. It’s a tight space, but we’ve managed to fit everything we need inside. Most days start with sweeping the front and getting the lights on. The building itself has been around for quite a while, so it has that slightly worn-down look that you see a lot in this part of town. We are right on the ground floor, which makes it easy for people to just pop their heads in. There’s always a bit of a breeze coming through the door, but it brings the dust from the road with it. We spend a lot of time just organizing the shelves or checking the stock. It’s not a place with a lot of bells and whistles. We have a couple of chairs for when friends or regulars stop by to chat. The neighbor next door usually brings over tea in the afternoon, which is a nice break from the routine. We don't have a fancy website or a marketing person. We just open up, do our work, and head home when the sun sets. It’s a simple way of doing business, but it’s what we know. The railway station isn't too far, so there's always a flow of people walking past our window. We just keep our heads down and get on with it.
