Kalra Canvas Store

You can find our shop located at 331/332 near Sadar Bazar in the Azad Market area. It is a very crowded and noisy part of the city, but we actually like being right in the middle of all that daily activity and chaos. We deal mostly in heavy canvas and other types of related fabrics that people use for all sorts of things. The rolls of material are very heavy and they take up a huge amount of space, so the store is usually packed from the floor all the way to the ceiling. You really have to watch where you are walking when you come inside so you don't trip over a roll. We spend a good portion of our day measuring out specific lengths of cloth and cutting them for customers who might need them for making tents or truck covers. It is quite a physical workout moving those big rolls around every single day. My father was the one who started this business years ago and now we are just trying to keep the tradition going. We have learned a lot about the various weights and types of canvas because we handle the material every day. If you need a very specific size, we just pull out the tape measure and do the work right there on the floor. The lighting in the back isn't always the best, but we've been here so long we know exactly where everything is kept on the racks.
