Esskay Garments

Our little place is located at No. 6 on P. N. Road, and we’ve been here long enough that the walls could probably tell a few stories. It’s a busy street, always full of people moving around, so there’s never a quiet moment. Inside, it’s mostly the sound of machines and people talking over each other to get things done. We don’t have a big reception area or anyone to greet you at the door because everyone is usually busy in the back with the garments. There are piles of thread and scraps of cloth everywhere you look. It might look a bit disorganized to someone walking in for the first time, but we know where everything is. Usually. We spend our days making sure the stitching is right and the buttons aren't loose. It’s a lot of manual work and your hands get tired by five o'clock. We don't really do the whole fancy office thing because we’d rather just focus on the clothes. Sometimes the power goes out and we just sit outside for a bit until it comes back on. That’s just part of being on this road. We’ve known the neighbors for years and we all kind of look out for each other. It’s a simple operation, nothing too complicated, just a bunch of us trying to make a living by making decent clothes that people can actually wear without paying a fortune for a label or a brand name.
