Joe Apparel Sources

Joe Apparel Sources at No. 38 Ashar Nagar. It's a regular building. Not much to look at from the outside. We spend most of our time inside looking at stacks of shirts and pants. Sometimes the delivery trucks block the lane, and we have to go out and talk to the drivers. Ashar Nagar is a busy little pocket. We've been here long enough that we know the guys at the tea stall down the way. Joe started this because he knew people in the trade. It’s not fancy. We have a few desks and a lot of samples hanging on the walls. The lights flicker sometimes if we have too many things plugged in. When people come by, they usually just walk right into the back where we’re working. We don't really have a reception desk or anything. It's just a place where work happens. Most days we are just trying to keep up with the paperwork and making sure the orders are actually what the customers asked for. The floor is concrete and we’ve got some old fans that help when it gets humid. It feels like a second home because we're here more than we're at our actual houses. That’s just the way it goes when you’re running a small sourcing business like this. We don’t have big meetings, just quick chats over a cup of water or chai.
