Vintage/Used/Old Sarees - Where can I buy?

karchit · Sep 29, 2014

Hello Ladies

I am hoping someone might know the answer to this since searching online has pretty much led to a deadend. I am going to be visiting India - Mumbai, Surat and Ahmedadbad, and need to buy old/vintage aka used sarees. The only place I could find where they are sold is in Delhi - Janpath through a few bloggers. Gujarati women sell the used sarees on the sidewalk in Janpath market and wanted to avoid travel to Delhi just to buy them. If anyone has a contact of a seller or knows of a place/bazaar with a similar set up would be greatly appreciated. Much thanks.

Hi karchit , I don't know where u can those sarees.
but I am curious, for what purpose you want to buy them? Are u related to social service organizations?

Hi KashmirFlower no these are not for social organization. These will be used for making upcycled products.

I have seen a few stores which buy old clothes in Charminar area. I am sure there must be similar shops in other cities too. Probably you can get in touch with them for a bulk deal.

So, apart from searching stores that sell old/used clothes, I guess, we could try searching for stores that buy such clothes. #justmytwocents
