Laxmi Garment Crafts

Laxmi Garment Crafts is tucked away near the Hanuman temple in Poorna Market here in Visakhapatnam. If you know the area, you know it's always busy with people going to the temple or doing their daily shopping. Our shop is right in the middle of all that. We handle a lot of different types of garments. Some of it is ready-made and some involves more craft work, hence the name. My uncle started this place years ago, and we’ve just kept it going the same way. The market can be a bit overwhelming with all the smells and sounds, but once you step inside, it’s just about the clothes. We have piles of fabric and finished pieces everywhere. It’s not the most modern-looking place, but it works for us and our customers. We get a lot of regulars who have been coming since they were young. They know they can find something decent without a lot of fuss. Sometimes we run out of space because we try to carry so many different colors. Poorna Market has changed a lot over the years, with new buildings coming up, but we’ve stayed pretty much the same. We open up in the morning and stay until the market starts to quiet down at night. It’s a lot of work, keeping track of everything, but we like being part of the community here in Vizag. We're just simple people selling clothes and managing the daily rush as best as we can.
