Why second hand foreign clothes when you can afford brand new foreign clothes smiley




The honest truth is people are going to pick the 2nd hand foreign valued cloth over new ones due to the fabric quality

If we can get new clothes at the same fabric standard as of this 2nd hand foreign....... Well at an affordable price, then I think we would all opt in for new ones

Lots of foreign second hand that are like brand new hence people realized that "Na Mumu dey go boutique" in second hand, you will get to select uncommon designs that you can never see someone wearing it and other many reasons.

how many people can afford brand new foreign clothes? Foreign Used Nike polo will sell for like #2500 while the new one cost 150$ or more. How many average Nigerian can afford that?
durability(not all) and a chance of seeing foreign currency in the pocket...lol Some people don't know that what is called 'foreign' is still Aba made. Most of the clothes you see in our local shops here are quality second handMost of the new wears in Nigerian "boutiques" (road side shops) are fake products made with useless and weak fabrics.

I will pick up a good and clean Okrika bag, belt, or sandals any day any time. By the time you get tired of changing belt or Jumia fake audio sandals every 2-3 months, and then you see prices like N92,000 for an authentic brand new laptop bag at ICM, Ikeja, nobody will tell you to use your head.

You forgot some of them are factory made that has never been worn by anyone they considered it overstayed.
Everyone wants something good, something perfect or at least near perfect, at an affordable price, do you now blame folks for going for good grade ok clothes when that same standard of clothing will go for an outrageously high cost? Before you say cut your clothes according..... let’s analyze the Nigerian made fabrics or clothes, how affordable are they?
How durable are they?
How well made are they?
You see most Nigerians value the money you get now than putting up a great brand that would be able to compete in the fashion industry...... lemme not talk too much
How many of them? Very low percentage
Not all OK clothes are used. Not all are cheap or of low quality.

Some of these boutiques you see around, they sell first grade OKs. They dry clean them and put inside transparent nylon. Same way they sew shirts in bulk (from Aba), put them foreign tags and sell too.


I would absolutely buy Nigerian made clothes if I could get well good quality products; but Nigerian artisans do not pay any attention to fine detail. They will always use poor material where they think you won't see it and may not bother about getting the seams straight. Plus they will delay your work for weeks or months; they are equally poor at keeping to promised schedules.

As for those Nigerian artisans who can actually sew attractive, good quality clothing, they will usually put foreign labels on them instead of building their own brand. Talk about selling their potential multimillion dollar fashion house for a pot of porridge. Totally shortsighted.

The Honest truth is that in Nigeria, to maximize profit, some Boutiques buy grade A used foreign clothes, dryclean it and hang it in the well furnished boutique with high price tag.

Some are even new...some cloth that have not been ever worn are amongst those cloth that are being brought to their countries...okirika self get grade..
Akube sure pass o! Brand new Nigerian made wey dem dey use paper dey sow, when you wash it, all the colour go comot, and they are expensive.
As for me wey sabi quality, and ready to pay little for a grade 1 akube clothes and shoes, or brand new akube wey dem never wear before
we call them second hand, but not all are used clothes. For instance, those jerseys we buy. Some club management may call for a new design, & discard all their old stock.

If you see where them dey open bale, you go understand me. Most clothes you see in Lagos roadside boutiques are gotten from those bales, washed & hung in d shop

They buy them abt N500 from bales, & resell even up to 5k
Interesting.
I should point out though, that most of the new clothes in Naija are imported from China.
Often with low quality.
These clothes aren't even naija made but China.
Nigerians can't even dream of being able to afford new American or European clothes for now.

The cheapest you can get a hoodie for instance is like $40.
Not even many well paid Nigerians can afford that.

There are Chinese clothes with higher quality but it comes at a higher price.
All in all, both have their places. In an economy like Nigeria, a real middle class Fashionista can't do without Foreign used.

Is it the tacky China jeans in the market you want to wear?
Infact, quality 'stock' jeans can't cost less than 10k brand new. How many can you afford with the small salaries in Nigeria?
This makes so much sense. We live in an environment that is extremely price sensitive.

If you want to know more about buying and selling OK and getting a good grade for personal use .

Reach me on my WhatsApp number

Zero eight zero eight six zero four nine four zero seven

the type of wear and products you can get on 1688.com for cheap amount are not of good quality . to get a standard quality wear on this site will require a lot of dough.
For instance : Even the wears people do buy on 1688.com are of cheap value . sellers buy so that they can make huge profits. Getting a good quality wears on 1688.com will require huge amount of money to start up and it can't be affordable for average people who earn less .

Back up your post with good pictures brother.
