M. R. Saree Emporium

If you head down to the Kohinoor Textile Market, look for Block- C. We are tucked away on the lower ground floor at M. R. House. M. R. Saree Emporium is basically a sea of fabric once you step inside. We have sarees piled up everywhere. It’s a bit of a maze in the lower ground area, but we know exactly where everything is located. The market is always buzzing, even early in the morning. We spend our days unfolding and folding cloth for the various people who come by. It’s a family-run kind of thing. My uncle handles some of the older clients while I deal with the newer stuff that comes in. We don't use a lot of fancy technology here. A simple calculator and a ledger usually do the trick for our record keeping. The air is always thick with the smell of new textiles. It’s a bit cramped, especially when a big shipment arrives and we have to find space for it on the shelves. We aren't interested in being a big chain. We like the personal touch of the market. People know they can find us in the same spot we've been in for many years. The stairs down to the lower ground can be a bit steep, so you have to watch your step. We just keep things simple and try to keep the variety interesting for our regulars. It's just a normal shop in a busy place.
