Anchor Leathers

Down here in Nagalkeni, everyone is pretty much doing the same thing. We are located at 57 Thiruneermalai Road, which is a busy stretch in Chromepet. If you come by, you’ll see stacks of leather everywhere. It’s been our base for a while now. We don’t have any polished showrooms with glass doors. Instead, you get the real smell of processed leather and the sound of heavy machines running in the back. Our staff have been with us for a long time, and they just get on with their tasks. We spend most of our time checking the skins and making sure the quality is what it needs to be. It’s a dusty environment, especially when the trucks go past on the main road. Sometimes the monsoon rains make things a bit difficult with the transport, but we manage. We aren’t trying to be the biggest company out there; we just want to do our job steadily. The office is just a small corner with a couple of desks and a lot of ledgers. We prefer it that way. It’s practical and keeps the costs down. Customers usually just walk in and we talk business over a cup of tea. No corporate talk, just straightforward conversations about what needs to be done. It’s a simple life at the workshop, focusing on the leather and making sure the orders are ready when we said they would be.
