Buying kids’ clothing in Howrah
It is one of the most established workshop economies in the east.
Children’s clothing is outgrown rather than worn out, so it comes onto the local market in genuinely good condition and usually in bundles. Buying a stage at a time from someone a few streets away is far cheaper than buying it new.
What to check in person
Look at how many washes the fabric has had, judged by bobbling and faded colour rather than by the label. Check elastic at waists and cuffs still recovers, and make sure school items carry the right badge for the school you actually need.
Collecting it in Howrah
It fits in a bag, so most people meet on the way to something else. A station or a high street works, and neither side needs a car.
The bridges across the river are the practical constraint on any collection, and traffic across them is heavy for much of the day. The engineering districts are dense and better reached on foot or by two-wheeler.
