Certainly will cause less competition for the Mall Triangle, if enforced. Here in Higuey the pacas stores are always packed and show huge signs outside saying "desde $20" I guess a piece of used clothing can be had for as little as 20 pesos ... certainly is more economic for poor people to buy 500 pesos worth of "imported" clothing there, than one junk China-made piece that will fall apart or wash away colors in a month, in a large store like Lama or Sirena.

Yes, lets force the poor to buy their clothes at Pichardo's new malls. Its a disgrace to the DR economy to allow Gringos to bring in, and donate clothes to the unfortunate.
The gringos should just save thier money for Sosua Whoremongering and force to poor to shop at the upscale malls!

You hit the nail on the head. I've been very surprised as of late of the material and construction used in the clothes I buy for my girls. They are so fragile that most have to be washed by hand. We go to the flea market and find better quality used clothes there. Sometimes I get odd looks because I'm a gringo but since I grew wearing hand me downs from my friends it doesn't bother me a whole lot. Of course for the presentable stuff that my wife wants for the kids they can only be new but for the everyday stuff and I go for the used especially if I haven't been to the States and can't load up at Walmart.

What makes you think the used clothes brought in from the States and else where are not Chinese made? If the clothes sold here are considered "crap" just because they are Chinese made, then guess what, the ones shipped in from abroad are just as crappy because they come from the same manufacturer.
China outsells any garment manufacturer world wide.

The quality of the stuff bought in these 'bajate boutiques' is quite good and better than in the established shops.
Quite often we find new seconds and new clothes with their price tags still on.
We look for 100% cotton and we hardly ever buy somewhere else.
