Elakiya Garments

We are tucked away behind the Shanthi Theater on P. N. Road. If you know the area, you just go to Elango Nagar and look for 4th Cross Street. Our place is at number 10/71. It’s a bit of a walk from the main road, but it’s quieter back here which is nice for getting work done. We handle garments and there’s always something going on with the machines or the fabric. The street can get a bit narrow if there are trucks parked nearby, but we manage. We’ve been in this spot for a while. It’s a local neighborhood, so we know the neighbors and they know us. We don’t have a big sign or anything flashy. Just the door and the work inside. Most days it’s just the sound of the equipment and us talking. It gets hot in the afternoons, especially when we have a lot of stuff piled up. We aren't trying to be some big international brand. We just make clothes and make sure they get out the door on time. If you’re looking for us, just head behind the theater and you’ll find the street. It’s a simple setup. We use the space we have to the best of our ability. It’s honest work and we stay busy from Monday to Saturday. Sometimes we stay late when there’s a big order to finish up. We usually eat lunch together at the small table in the corner before getting back to the sewing. It's a living.
