S. R. Garments Tirupur

Being in Tirupur means there’s always talk about textiles, and we’re right in the middle of it at No. 23 on Vedathalankadu 4th Street. This part of Karuvampalayam is full of places like ours, but we like our little corner. S. R. Garments Tirupur is basically a bunch of us who enjoy working with our hands. It’s a lot of routine, really. We get the fabric in, we cut it, we stitch it, and then it goes out. There’s no big secret to it, just keeping the machines oiled and making sure the workers are doing okay. The street can get pretty narrow, so when the delivery vans come, everything else has to stop for a minute. It’s just how things work here. We don’t spend much on decorating the office because we’d rather spend that on better thread or fixing a machine that’s acting up. Most of the people around here have known us for years. We’re not into big marketing campaigns or anything like that; we just rely on the work we do to speak for itself. Sometimes we have tea together in the afternoon and talk about the local news or how the weather is affecting the cotton prices. It’s a simple life, but it keeps us busy. We just want to finish the day's work and head home to our families in the evening like everyone else.
