Nairobi, life and the daily struggle, mostly
Gikomba Market - June 2011.
Gikomba, is the largest second hand clothing market, in Kenya.  The market supports a whole ecosystem of of activities from tailors, to distributors,transporters and all sorts of occupations that revolve around the second hand clothing market - On a certain level though, i think the second label may be a misnomer since clothes move through a chain, from MACY’s then if they dont sell moved to TJ MAX and ROSS then if they don’t sell are package and sold in Africa. At the Gikomba market you can still see the labels from ROSS ,TJ MAXX or even Goodwill Stores.

QuestionHey!
LOOOVVVEEE you blog!
I'm actually from Kenya. Born and Breed (well,for a while,until I moved to South Africa).
II guess you can tell from my surname - incorporated it into my blog name, that I'm Kikuyu.

Anyway, always feels good when you can relate or share similarities with someone, whoever they are.
All the best ;)

thank you!
