Bale clothes are now cool and these Instagram accounts are proof

Santa Paca, La Paca de la Alpaca, Ropita Chula.mx and Soy Totalmente Paca are some of the accounts (with the latter even alluding to the famous brand, reminding us that the paca is not the high-value store, but rather a different alternative). ), and although most focus on women's garments, some are giving space to men's garments.

Something that helps a bit is that, although some of the paca garments are from recent years, suddenly there are second-hand pieces that seem to come from the 70s, and considering the recent vintage trends, which already include fashions from almost the entire 20th century, they manage to adapt to current looks. Also, some fit perfectly with the normcore looks or with the alternative styles of the 80s or 90s.

We say that this paca curation market is a response to the capitalist world as it moves away from clothing stores, even from fast fashion, offering interesting clothes and looks at a very low price that even take on a more unique meaning by not being what is currently produces. It's a unique way to create an off-market identity, and it doesn't require a massive investment.

These new merchants are on Instagram, Facebook Marketplace, and even WhatsApp in some cases. Just explore a little and you will have a whole different catalog for yourself.
