These women are participating in a global practice for females - clothes shopping. In small stores such as this one on Mint Street, fabric is neatly folded and piled from floor to ceiling - forming a rainbow of colors. Want to see one? The store clerk pulls it out and unfolds it. Don't like it? The cloth is dumped on the floor or counter. Soon a large pile has accumulated. Perhaps that's why there are so many workers in the typical clothes shop - some needed just to refold the huge mound of viewed fabrics!
