Shri Lakshmi Garments

Our place, Shri Lakshmi Garments, is located at No. 5/15 over on Mahaliyamman Kovil 6th Street. We are in the Pichampalayam Pudhur area which is very close to the New Bus Stand so there is always a lot of movement around us. You can hear the buses pulling in and out all day long and the smell of diesel is often in the air. The Mahaliyamman temple is just nearby and sometimes you can hear the bells ringing or music playing during the festivals. Our shop is not very large but we have filled every corner with rolls of fabric and boxes. The 6th street can get a bit muddy when it rains but usually it is just dry and dusty. We have a few wooden benches where we sit when we are taking a break from the sewing and cutting. It is a very local kind of neighborhood where everyone knows each other’s business. We don't really have a fancy office setup with air conditioning or soft chairs. It is mostly just wooden stools and big tables where the work happens. The light comes in through the front door mostly because the side windows are blocked by storage racks. We have been here at this address for a while and it suits us fine because it is easy for people to find us coming from the bus stand. We just keep our heads down and try to get the garments finished as they come in.
