Niikkis Attire

Niikkis Attire is situated on Tower Road. If you find Shri Gajanan Pustakalay, we are right above them. You have to walk up the stairs to get to us. Being on the upper floor means it’s a little quieter than being right on the street, but you can still see everything happening down on Tower Road from the windows. We have racks of clothes and different fabrics all around the room. It’s a place where we spend a lot of time measuring things and helping people see how something fits. The light in the shop is okay, but we use a few extra lamps to see the details of the stitching. It’s not a fancy boutique with carpets and mirrors everywhere. It’s a practical space where work gets done. We often have scraps of thread and fabric on the floor by the end of the day. The bookstore downstairs is a good landmark because everyone knows it. People come up the stairs after they’ve finished their shopping down there. Sometimes the fans are a bit noisy, but they keep the air moving. We’ve been here for a while and we know the other shopkeepers on Tower Road pretty well. It’s a steady pace of work. We just focus on the clothes and making sure people leave with something that fits them right. That’s our daily routine here above the library where we spend most of our daylight hours working on the latest items.
