Its story
Edith opened in 1971 with a press and thirty numbered hangers. She cleans suits, dresses and shirts, recording stains like witness descriptions.
In 1984, a power cut trapped a beige jacket in the press. Edith worked by hand all night; its owner then entrusted her with his orchestra’s suits without explaining their evenings.
Anecdotes
- In November 1984, customer Silas Wren requested the same stain to recognise his jacket; Edith offered a label.
- In March 1985, Marie brought a garment bag full of Régis’s fur and a four-line letter.
- In April 1986, Dolores Van Pelt inaugurated the $8.50 express counter and forgot her ticket.
