Touch Lugaage

You can find Touch Lugaage at 208 Chambra Bazar, right behind the Kamgar Medical Store in Dharavi. It is a busy part of the market where everyone is selling something. We focus on luggage—suitcases, travel bags, and backpacks. The shop is usually filled with bags stacked on top of each other. Because space is tight in Dharavi, we have to be clever about how we store everything. The medical store is a good landmark because everyone knows it. Our day starts by pulling the shutter up and wiping the dust off the suitcases. There is always dust in the air here. We spend a lot of time showing people the different wheels and handles on the bags. People are always looking for something sturdy for their travels. The noise from the street is constant, with bikes and carts passing by the entrance. It is a humble shop with a concrete floor and some old fans to keep the air moving. We don't have much in the way of decoration; the bags are the main thing you see. It is a practical business. We see a lot of different people every day. Some are just passing through and some live right around the corner. We stay open until late because the market stays busy long after the sun goes down. It is just how things are in Chambra Bazar and we are used to it.
