Fashion Foute

Kalkaji Extension is a quiet enough place, and we are tucked away at No. 38 in Pocket A-8. Fashion Foute is a small operation. We aren't some big mall brand. It's just a few of us working in this space. The room is filled with patterns and cut pieces of cloth. We've been in this pocket for a few years. Finding the place can be a little tricky if you aren't familiar with the layout of Kalkaji, but once you find the gate, it's easy. We mostly deal with local folks and some regular clients who have been coming to us forever. The sun hits the front window in the afternoon, making it quite warm, so we keep the fans running all day. We don't have a receptionist. If the bell rings, whoever is closest to the door opens it. Usually, we are busy with the measuring tapes or checking the stitching quality. It’s a bit messy, with scraps of fabric on the floor, but we clean up every evening before locking up. Lunch is usually a shared affair where everyone brings something from home. It's a relaxed atmosphere. We don't really worry about fancy titles or corporate ladders. We just like making clothes that fit right. It's a decent way to spend the day. No big fuss. We often have a radio playing in the background, mostly just for some noise while we work. The neighborhood kids sometimes play cricket in the lane outside, so we have to watch out for stray balls.
