Aura Fashions

Aura Fashions is based out of Boyampalayam, near the Pooluvapatti post office area on PN Road. If you know this part of town, you know how hectic PN Road can get with all the lorries and buses. Our building isn't anything special to look at, just a sturdy place where we do our sewing and cutting. We have a few rows of machines and some big tables for spreading out the fabric. The floor is usually covered in scraps of cloth by the end of the shift. It’s a noisy place because everyone is trying to work fast to meet the day's goals. We don't have a lot of fancy equipment, just the basic stuff that gets the job done. The air gets a bit thick with dust from the textiles, so we try to keep the fans on high all day long. Most of the people working here have been doing this for years and can probably sew with their eyes shut. We just focus on the garments and getting them packed up into bags for the next stage. There isn't any corporate polish here; it's just a bunch of local folks working hard in the heat. Sometimes the delivery trucks get stuck in the PN Road traffic, which throws our schedule off, but we just deal with it as it happens.
