Rayon Wears

You can find us at No. 707/3 on Dharapuram Road. We are pretty much directly opposite the Government Hospital. It’s a very busy part of town because of that. There is also the Government ITI nearby, so we see a lot of young people and students passing by our door all day long. We mostly deal with rayon clothes. In this part of the world, it gets so hot that rayon is about the only thing that feels comfortable. Our shop isn't very large. It’s basically one long room with shelves all the way to the ceiling. We have to use a wooden ladder to reach the stuff at the top. The traffic outside is constant. You hear the ambulances and the buses all the time. It becomes a kind of background noise that you stop noticing after a while. We have a small bench outside under the shade where we sit when there aren't many people around. Inside, it’s mostly just stacks of shirts and tunics. We get the fabric from the local suppliers and have a few people who stitch for us. The walls have some marks from where the racks have rubbed against them over the years. We don't bother painting it too often. We just keep the floors swept and the stock moving. Rayon Wears is a straightforward place. We aren't trying to be fancy. People know they can find a good, cool shirt here and that’s enough for us. We just keep things moving and wait for the evening rush.
