Who gets to decide when poor-quality secondhand clothing floods local markets in Uganda and other East African countries? While colonial powers were in decision-making positions for centuries, Ugandan brands, such as Buzigahill, Gwavah, or Catherine & Sons, reinterpret the synthetical waste of the West — a product of its capitalist over-consumption — in their designs.
