D. Shamji & Co.
An exclusive shop for Parsi tradition wear.
More than a century ago, this little shop at Bazar Gate Street, Mumbai was flagged off by Mr. Shamji Gohil to cater to the tailoring needs of the Parsi Zoroastrian community by stitching their exclusive sacred gear. A true Parsi steeped in religion and tradition always wears the traditional Parsi Dagli on auspicious occasions like Lagan, Navjotes and other religion ceremonies. Besides these, Navar Wagha, Badiyan, Eejar, Sadras, Lenghas, Dasturji's White Topi & Jama, shirts, pants, suits, safari suits and uniforms form our diverse product catalogue.
In the early 19th century, quite a few Parsis inhabited the South Mumbai region, as many fire temples were within its vicinity and they still stand tall. D.Shamji & Co. is the one and only shop famous among the people of this community who throng here for all their traditional needs in the Parsi attire. Three generations down the line, the shop is now ably and efficiently managed by Shamji's grandson Mr. Bhupendra Dullabhji Gohil who carries on the same tradition as his illustrious great-grandfather but going a step ahead, using modern technology, taking the business on the world wide web. Parsi icons like Mr. Shapoorji Pallonji, Mr. Adi Godrej, Mr. Hafiz Contractor, various film personalities, prominent industrialists, musicians have all along patronized this shop. The orders are now booked online, hence Parsis staying abroad avail it's convenience. Business is flourishing, thanks to the loyal customers and the trust & rapport they share with Mr. Bhupendra Gohil. |
