Star Bags

You can find us in the Subhash Chandra Bose Building, right in A Wing at Shop No 1. We are directly opposite the O N G C office on the Sion Bandra Link Road. If you know Mumbai, you know how that road gets. It’s always loud with cars and bikes zooming past toward Sion. We’ve been here in this shop for a long time, surrounded by bags of all shapes and sizes. It’s a small space, so we have to hang things from the ceiling and stack them against the walls just to fit everything in. We mostly deal with travel bags, school bags, and those small ones people use for work. The salt air in Mumbai can be tough on zips and buckles, so we see a lot of people coming in to get things looked at. The building itself is an old landmark, and being on the ground floor means we see everyone walking by. Some days it’s so humid the leather handles feel sticky, so we’re constantly dusting and keeping things fresh. It’s not a quiet job, especially with the Link Road traffic, but we’ve gotten used to the noise over the years. We open up early and usually stay until the sun goes down and the street lights take over. It’s just a regular shop where we do our best to keep things organized despite the limited space we have. It gets busy, but we manage somehow.
