Ravi Bajaj Design Pvt. Ltd.

The studio is located at C/237 in Defence Colony, which is a bit quieter than most other parts of the city. We spend most of our time looking at sketches and touching different kinds of fabrics to see how they feel. It is a place where we do a lot of thinking and drawing before anything actually gets made. The sunlight comes through the windows in the morning and hits the big wooden tables where we spread out the paper patterns. Sometimes it feels like there are too many pins and measuring tapes lying around, but we usually find what we need eventually. We are not a giant factory, just a group of people who care about how a shirt or a jacket is put together. The tailors sit in the back room where they have their own rhythm with the machines. You can hear the steam irons hissing throughout the afternoon. We drink a lot of tea while we talk about what needs to change on a sample. It is a slow process sometimes, and things don't always turn out perfect on the first try. We spend a lot of time adjusting things by a few centimeters here and there. It is just how we work, day in and day out, in this small corner of the neighborhood. The neighborhood is nice, mostly houses and small shops, so it stays pretty calm while we focus on the designs and getting the details right for each piece we make.
