Sheetal Bags

Sheetal Bags is located at B-136, right across from the Gold Filled Plaza in Dharavi. If you know that area, you know how busy it gets with all the small shops and people moving around. Dharavi is a place where everyone is working on something, and we are no different. We have our little spot here where we keep all our bags stacked up. Some are for travel, some are for daily use, but we try to keep a bit of everything for the people who stop by. Being opposite the plaza helps because people see us when they are out shopping for other things. It’s not a big showroom or anything like that. It’s just a practical space where we do our business every day. Sometimes the street gets blocked with delivery trucks, and it can be a bit of a mess outside, but that’s normal for Dharavi life. We have lived and worked around here for years, so we know the local crowd well. We don’t do much advertising; people just know we are here. Inside, it’s mostly just rows of bags. We spend our time checking the zips and handles to make sure things are okay before someone buys them. It’s a simple life, running a shop in such a crowded part of Mumbai. We stay open pretty late because that’s when most people have time to walk around and shop. It is a noisy place but we are used to the constant sound of the traffic.
