Gifts are am emotional thing. There are lots of estimations of what the other person likes or wants and lots of expectations from the giving side. The whiplash from hoping for the best, to finding you've actually caused displeasure with your gift can be hard to handle.
Both sides need to be wise, in control of their emotions and those of the other party when gifts are exchanged. Be as gentle as you can when explaining why it's not something you want, express the things you're grateful for (the intention, their effort, etc.), and even more gentle with their upset feelings at your refusal.

I think it's great that they're keeping their traditional garments. I wouldn't mock anyone with the cultural strength to do so. More cultures should have done it. (Edit: I know you're not trying to insult them in particular, I was making more of a "by the way" comment.)
