traditional clothing store
Retail space specializing in traditional regional or ethnic clothing, or national folk costumes.
A traditional clothing store is a retail space specializing in the sale or rental of the traditional folk garb, national costume, or regionally- or ethnically-identified clothing.
The merchandise is identified with a regional, national, or ethnic clothing tradition. Both purchase and rental of that clothing are included.
A costume store specializes in dress for an adopted role or identity. Traditional garments can also be worn at performances, but their use in one event does not remove the cultural clothing specialization described here.
