Orijahnal Apparels Private Limited

If you head down towards Madhalawada in Harmal, you’ll find us at House Number 33/1. This is where Orijahnal Apparels Private Limited operates from. It’s basically just our home and workspace combined. We didn’t want to be in a big industrial area, so we stayed here in the village. It’s quieter and feels more like home. We make clothes that we think people might actually want to wear. There’s a lot of dust sometimes because of the road, but we keep the workspace clean. It’s not a high-tech setup. We have a few good sewing machines and a big cutting table that takes up most of the room. We source the cloth ourselves and then figure out what to do with it. Sometimes a design doesn't work out and we have to start over, but that's part of it. We aren't trying to be the biggest brand in India. We just want to make decent clothes and stay in business. The local community in Harmal is small, so everybody knows what everyone else is doing. We like it that way. It’s honest work. Sometimes the power goes out and we just have to wait for it to come back before we can finish a batch. That’s just life in this part of Goa. We take it as it comes. Our neighbors sometimes bring over snacks, and we chat while we work. It’s a very grounded way to run things. We don't have a big sign out front, just the house number. If you're looking for us, you just have to ask around. Most people know where the clothes house is. It’s not a corporate headquarters, just a place where things get made.
