Cocokids

Our place, Cocokids, is located at 5-a in the Lrg Lay-out. We are right on 1st Street, off ABT Road in Karuvampalayam. It is a bit of a maze back here if you aren't used to the layout. We focus on kids' things, which means there is usually a lot of color around the workspace. It can get pretty cluttered with samples and small garments everywhere. We spend our mornings going through the production lists. It is mostly manual work, like checking buttons or making sure the sizes are right. The staff here knows each other well. We eat lunch together and complain about the traffic on ABT Road. We aren't a high-tech outfit. We use standard machines and a lot of hand-sorting. There is no PR team here to write fancy speeches. We just write down what we need on clipboards and get to work. Sometimes the shipments are a bit late, and we have to work a Saturday to catch up. That’s just part of being in this business. We like the neighborhood because it’s where we grew up. Being in Karuvampalayam feels right for us. We just keep our heads down and try to keep the piles of clothes organized. It is honest work and it keeps us busy from morning till night. Most days we are just happy to get the boxes out.
