London, Aug 7 (ANI): A new craze for "divorce parties" has become popular among well-heeled American divorcees who are looking to offload the baggage of their married lives.
A new company called the Divorcee Sale organises events where newly divorced women can sell their clothes, jewellery and handbags at bargain prices.
Held in hotel ballrooms and chic event spaces across the Los Angeles area, the sales have become a huge smash.
A percentage of the proceeds go to various charities.
"I just knew it would work. Divorce is pretty common these days and people are looking to offload their stuff," the Guardian quoted the company owner, Jill Alexander, as telling the Observer.
The former fashion manager, 37, sees huge potential for the Divorcee Sale across America and the rest of the world.
"Divorce doesn't just happen in southern California. It will be my way of turning a negative into a positive," she said.
But Alexander says that the main aim is not to create a business: it is to help a woman get through a difficult period of her life.
"It is a really cathartic experience. When you clear out your closet, it can be freeing. You are downsizing, but you also don't want the clothes from your past life," she added. (ANI)
