Aster Apparels

You can find us at number 34 on Sidco Harvey Road. Aster Apparels has been here for a while. It’s an industrial sort of area, so there’s always a bit of dust and noise from the other units and trucks around us. We have a fairly large space, but it stays full of machines and material. It’s not the prettiest place to look at, just a functional building where we get the sewing done. We start early in the morning before it gets too hot to work comfortably. There’s usually a lot of chatter among the workers while the machines are running in the background. We don't spend money on marketing or anything like that. We just focus on getting the orders finished. Sometimes the delivery vans block the entrance, which makes things a bit difficult for everyone. We’ve had to fix the roof a few times when it leaked during the heavy rain. It’s a hard-working environment. We drink a lot of tea to keep going through the shifts. Everyone knows their job and we just get on with it without much complaining. It’s not a fancy office with air conditioning in every room or nice furniture. It’s just a plain factory setup on Harvey Road where we put in our hours every day and try to keep things moving. We finish up when the work is done and come back to do it all again.
