Buying kids’ clothing in Kollam
It is an old port city with a long history of trade well beyond the region.
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.

Separate by size rather than mixing ages, because a parent is shopping for one child at one stage. Moves in waves as each school year turns over, with a clear lift before September.
