S. N. A. Fashion

You can find us over at No. 9 Pitchampalayam Road, on the 2nd Street just north of the old Sivan Theatre. It’s a familiar landmark for anyone living around here. Our place is quite busy most days. We focus on fashion items, mostly garments that we put together right here. The street outside can get quite jammed up with two-wheelers and people walking to the market. Inside, the fans are always spinning to keep the air moving. We have different sections for cutting, stitching, and checking the final pieces. It’s not a high-end boutique with lights and mirrors. It’s more of a production space where we get things made. The staff here are mostly locals who walk or bike to work. We have a routine that we follow every day, starting with a quick sweep of the floor. We talk about the news or what’s happening in the neighborhood while we work. Sometimes we have to rush to meet a deadline, and those days are a bit more stressful. But usually, it’s a steady pace. We take our lunch breaks together and then get back to the machines. It’s a straightforward way to earn a living. We don't put on any acts; we just make the clothes and send them where they need to go. It’s what we know how to do best.
