Wool fortune .. $ 1 million out of Bernie Sanders gloves
Perhaps the American Senator Bernie Sanders is not a fashion icon that people follow in her footsteps .. But the glove with which he appeared during the inauguration of President Joe Biden made requests for his likeness heaped on a woolen hook in Vermont, which helped her to collect charitable donations close to two million Dollars.
During the party, Sanders wore a muzzle, wore a recycled wool coat and glove, and sat wrapped in heavy clothes to protect himself from the cold.
Sanders' body did not go unnoticed compared to the traditional uniforms he wore around him, and some merged his image with an endless number of scenes of history, art and popular culture. Requests poured in to Jane Ellis, the teacher who gave the glove to Sanders, to get an analogy of him, so Ellis suggested contacting a courtesan called Lise-Anne College was teaching her daughter 10 years ago.
Coolidge (53 years), whose small company (From This To That) produces (from this to that) goods from recycled materials, promised to "spin 100 gloves on the condition that one pair is sold at $ 200 and part of the proceeds will go to charities to save Food in Vermont. "
Within a day, she received orders for the 100 gloves.
But Coolidge told Reuters the gloves for sale may not look exactly the same as Sanders' glove. "Remember, it is made of used jacket wool," she added.
The money you raise will be added to charitable donations raised from similar ideas.
A Texas artist raised $ 40,000 for Mills on Wheels (Meals on Wheels), an association that takes care of the elderly, when he auctioned a crochet doll as Sanders at the inauguration.
She collected other items inspired by the same idea, including shirts, jackets and posters with the famous Sanders image, $ 1.8 million for (Mills on Wheels) and other associations.
