Casa De Apparels Private Limited

Our office is up on the third floor of Rizvi Chambers, right on CaetanodeAlbuquerque Road. If you know Panjim, you know the parking can be a real headache around here. We’ve been here for a while now running Casa De Apparels Private Limited. It’s a small team, just a few of us sitting at desks and dealing with suppliers and shops. We mostly handle the paperwork and the designs. It gets pretty hot in the afternoons, so we keep the fans going all day. Dealing with clothing is a lot of back and forth, especially with the factories. Some days are just filled with phone calls and checking samples that arrived in the mail. We aren't some massive corporation with a lobby and a receptionist. It's just a regular office door. You walk in, there are stacks of fabric samples on the table and coffee mugs everywhere. We started this because we liked the idea of having our own thing in Tiswadi. Panjim is a good place to work, even if the building is a bit old. We spend most of our time looking at sketches or talking to people on the phone about button sizes or hem lengths. It's practical work. Sometimes we get behind on emails when things get busy, but we try to keep up. It’s just how we do things here, nothing fancy. The lift in the building is a bit temperamental, so we usually just take the stairs. It keeps us moving. We’ve seen other businesses come and go in Rizvi Chambers, but we’ve managed to stick around by just being practical. Our desks are old but they work. It’s a bit cluttered with papers, but we know where everything is.
