Used cashmere sweaters in Howrah typically sell for ₹400 to ₹1,500 (about $4 to $16). Cashmere is judged almost entirely on how it has been washed and stored, which is why two identical jumpers can sell for very different amounts.
Selling a cashmere sweater in Howrah
Howrah is a dense industrial and engineering city facing Kolkata across the river, with an old and knowledgeable trade in machine parts and tools. It is one of the most established workshop economies in the east.
Workshop and industrial employment keeps tools and equipment circulating constantly. Humidity here is as high as in Kolkata and storage conditions are always worth asking about.
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.
On machine parts and tools, ask what they came off and check for rust at the threads and bearings. Humidity here is high and it reaches the parts that are hardest to see.
Handing it over in Howrah
UPI has largely replaced cash for in-person handovers and is instant and traceable, which suits a private sale well. Cash on delivery is still widely expected for anything posted, and it is worth deciding your position on it before you list.

What cashmere sweaters are worth
What lifts the price
- Two-ply or heavier construction with real weight to it
- Classic colours that sell in any season
What pulls it down
- Thin single-ply knits that have gone see-through at the elbows
- Stretched cuffs and hems that no longer recover
Working out what yours is worth
- Hold the knit up to the light to reveal moth damage and thin patches
- De-pill it carefully before photographing
Getting it ready
- De-pill it properly with a cashmere comb or a fabric shaver. This takes twenty minutes and reliably adds to the price.
- Hold it up to a window and check for moth holes, which are small, round and easy to miss under artificial light.
Photograph
- Laid flat, front, on a contrasting plain surface
- Any hole, thin patch or repair, photographed against a light background so the size is clear
Put in the description
- The exact cashmere percentage, and what the rest of the blend is
- The ply if the label states it, since two-ply wears far better than single
Put the cashmere percentage and the brand in the title, because “100% Cashmere” is the search and a blend is a different product: “100% Cashmere Crew Neck Jumper, Camel, Size M”. If it is a blend, say the percentage rather than letting a buyer assume.
Listing is free and there is no selling fee, so the whole amount the buyer pays stays with you. You and the buyer agree the handover between yourselves.
