Mercury Fashions

You will find Mercury Fashions at No. 6 Giri Nagar First Street, which is just off Palagodown Street on Mangalam Road. It is a bit of a maze to get here if you aren't familiar with the side streets. We have a small sign, but the paint is a little faded now. The building is two stories high. Most of the heavy lifting happens on the ground floor where it is easier to move the big rolls of fabric. Upstairs is mainly used for storage and a small office space. A few ceiling fans spin all day to keep the air moving, though it still gets quite stuffy when we have a lot of people working. We don't have any polished showrooms. Instead, racks of samples hang along the walls. Sometimes we have to hunt for a specific piece because things get moved around so much during the day. The street outside stays quiet except for the occasional delivery bike. We start our day early, usually around eight, and keep going until the light starts to fade. A lot of our time is spent talking about thread counts and dye lots. It is practical work. A marketing team isn't something we have, and nobody here writes fancy speeches for us. Making sure the garments are made correctly and sent out on time is the main goal. This is a straightforward business run by people who have been doing this for many years.
