The idea of stylish dressing came from the grandson of Chang Wanji and Shu Shu-ye, Reef Chan, who convinced his grandparents to fashionably combine accumulated old clothes, take photos in them and share them on social networks.

According to Reef, in this way he only wanted to cheer up his grandparents, who could often doze off during the working day, waiting for clients. And each new day was no different from the previous one.

But he never expected such a positive effect on social networks: “There is often no one in the laundry, they [grandparents] start to fall asleep at the counter, the mood is at zero. So I thought: if we already have so many unclaimed clothes, I could remind people to take them away, and show my grandparents that their life can be interesting even in old age,” Reef explained his idea in an interview.

At first, the couple was very reluctant to the idea. Because in this business, it is considered unacceptable to wear someone else’s clothes. But the grandson managed to convince them: “Age is not a hindrance to good style.”
