Fablook

Our shop is tucked away in Ranchodrai Apartment, right at Shop No. 3. The address is 2/1469 in Hanumansheri, Sagarampura. It’s a bit of a narrow street, typical for this part of the city. We sell clothes and fabrics here. People usually find us by word of mouth from their friends. The space is filled with racks and stacks of different materials. It smells like new cotton and laundry sometimes. We’ve been in Sagarampura for several years now. My family has always been into the textile trade. We don’t have big glass windows or mannequins everywhere. It’s more of a place where you come to find something specific for your own sewing. We spend our days showing different cuts of cloth to customers who walk in. Some are regulars who have been coming since we first opened. We keep a notebook for orders and another for accounts. It’s all very traditional. Sometimes the shop gets really crowded when a new shipment arrives. We have to move things around to make space on the floor. It’s a bit of a squeeze but we make it work. The neighbors are friendly and we often chat while sweeping the front. We usually have tea delivered from the stall across the street every afternoon. It’s just a small local shop trying to keep things going in the neighborhood. We like it here. The old ceiling fan makes a bit of noise but keeps us cool.
