What is paca clothing?
According to the documentary The bale was opened, the vast majority of these garments are second-hand, which have already been used and discarded by their owners, donated and then marketed at an affordable price. But, you can also find new pieces that have been discontinued or finished.
Their goal, in general, is to sell clothes in bulk, that is, if they pay attention to the individual characteristics of each garment.

Finally, the vast majority of bales come from the United States and this import is regulated by the Ministry of Economy, which must meet certain requirements and regulations to reach Mexico legally.
