A dry cleaning store in Central Taiwan has found a new purpose for clothing items that people have forgotten about or left behind. The elderly couple behind the shop has breathed new life into forgotten garments by modeling the clothes on Instagram.
This ain’t your grandpa and grandma’s clothes. Well, wait, it actually might be. But, one thing’s for sure, this elderly couple looks absolutely fresh rocking that retro getup. Grandpa and grandma are lighting up the internet with their new swag.
Where did they get such stylish clothes, you ask? Well, they’re leftover from customers that have either forgotten about them or just haven’t come to get them. You see, this elderly couple has been running a dry cleaners for the past sixty years in the Central Taiwan city of Taichung. Some of the clothes they’re wearing in these pictures are nearly 20 years old.
The tags on the clothes are ripped and the plastic bags they’re in are worn out, but, on grandpa and grandma, they look like new. So where did this idea come from? The elderly couple’s grandson said that he wanted to give the forgotten garments a new purpose.
According to policy, the store will only hold onto clothes for a month. But, one can’t help but wonder if someone will come back for something two decades later, after grandpa and grandma rocked it so gloriously online.
