‘Hard to say what the intention behind ‘We Don’t Wash It!’ was at the outset. A generous read is that it was a lazy, if honest, cash-in on an initial lot of old junk that the owner, Susanne Shoulders simply didn’t want to clean. A generous read is that it was the sort of store that operates at the lowest bar, providing capitalist balance in offering, also, the lowest price.
Whatever it once was, it is not that anymore.
‘We Don’t Wash It!’s’ inventory is now largely compromised of women’s clothes, worn just long enough to satisfy a largely male customer base.
And it ain’t cheap.’
-an excerpt, Autumn by the Wayside
