A few weeks ago, a woman walked into the store with an unusual story. She was from out of town and attended a funeral of a retired soul singer. At this funeral, pieces of the singer's wardrobe was gifted to people that attended so that people that loved her would have something to remember her by. The problem came in that she was flying back home and had no way to get it back. She decided to give it forward and left it with us to spread the love.

As we don’t just sell clothing, we rent it, we saw that this might need to be washed several times and we didn't want to ruin this coat. We discussed as a team how we wanted to move forward with the coat and settled on writing down its history, slipping it in the pocket, and donating it forward in hopes that it finds a lovely home that appreciates where it comes from.
