We’ve been here in Lodhivali for a while now, right behind the Bank of Baroda. The shop is at Plot No-A/1 in Khanda Colony, though most people just know us from the area around Chirner. It gets busy with people coming in for all sorts of outfits and dresses. We keep a lot of things in stock because you never know what someone might need for a function or a local event. My family started this, and we just keep going day by day. It’s not a big fancy place, just a regular shop where we try to keep things organized, even if it gets a bit cluttered during the festival seasons. Raigad can be hot, but the shop stays okay. We see a lot of the same faces from the neighborhood. Sometimes the traffic out front is a bit much, especially near the bank, but we manage. If you’re looking for us, just head toward the post office area and look for the sign. We don't really do much advertising, word of mouth usually does the trick for us. People know where we are and what we have on the shelves. It’s a simple way of doing things. We spend most of our mornings sorting through the new arrivals and making sure everything is clean. It’s a lot of folding and hanging, but it’s what we do. Nothing too complicated about it. We’re just local people helping out other locals with whatever they need to wear. We like the work.
