Africans' preference for second-hand clothes is caused by various reasons such as the local national economic level, industry development and clothing style update.
On the one hand, as everyone thinks, the living standard of Africans is relatively low, and most African families have difficulty even solving the daily food and clothing problems, let alone buying new clothes.
In this case, second-hand clothes from across the ocean have become their first choice.
On the other hand, under the impact of a large number of high-quality and cheap second-hand clothes, the local clothing industry in Africa continues to decline, resulting in higher and higher clothing production costs. As a result, the selling price has also risen. This makes second-hand clothes the only option for many locals.
In addition, in addition to the reasons for production and consumption capacity, clothing style is also an important reason why many Africans choose Chinese second-hand clothes.
Traditional African clothes are single in style and have many accessories, which are neither beautiful nor convenient. The imported Chinese second-hand clothes are relatively simple and comfortable, and are more convenient in work and life.
For example, many Africans like to buy Chinese school uniforms and work clothes from the second-hand market. The reason is that the design of these types of clothes is loose, simple to wear, and unrestricted to wear on the body, which meets the daily needs of working people in Africa.
It is worth mentioning that the most popular second-hand clothes sold in Africa is women's underwear. Some shop owners need to book in advance if they want to enter women's underwear, otherwise they will not be able to get the goods at all, and its popularity can be imagined.
