Shine Garments

Our workshop is at 20/3 Eswaramoorthy Layout, on the 3rd street off Mangalam Road. It’s tucked away a bit from the main road, which is nice because it’s a little quieter. We focus on making garments. Most of the space is taken up by cutting tables and rows of stitching machines. You can hear the hum of the motors all day long. We have about ten people working here right now. We don't have a big corporate office. Our office is just a desk in the corner with a computer and a lot of thread samples. The floor is concrete and we try to keep it clean, but lint gets everywhere. We start early in the morning when the air is still cool. By noon, it gets pretty warm inside, so we keep all the windows open. We get fabric delivered in big rolls, and we spend the day turning them into clothes. There’s always a pile of scraps in the corner that we clear out at the end of the week. We aren't doing anything fancy. We just make sure the stitches are straight and the buttons are on tight. It’s good, honest work. Sometimes we have tea breaks outside on the steps. We know the other small businesses on the street. It’s a hardworking neighborhood and we fit right in. We just keep the machines running until the work is done.
