India Dresses Up In Our Castoffs
India is the world’s largest buyer of American second hand clothing. Every year Indians spend about 750000 dollars on castoffs and costumes including coats gowns suits and shoes once worn by Americans. Garments travel from wealth to poverty and are worn by peasant families for years. A 375 overcoat from a wealthy wearer may end in a laborer’s wardrobe for 1.50. A silken robe may clothe a famished wife for about a dollar. The Indian wearer accepts any garment regardless of gender.
