Someone’s cherished goods are passed on to the other with their memories. PASS THE BATON is a new style of secondhand shop, offering various goods like dishes, clothes and miscellaneous goods.
What makes this shop so attractive is their rule for the goods on display. Those who want to put goods on display have to disclose their profile and their histories, values or stories about the goods.
I found antique silver cutlery listed by an woman with a tag “This is a wedding present for my mother around 1950.”
Not only secondhand goods but their original ones are cool: “Time for tea”, a dead stock ceramic cup and sweets of popular bakery wrapped together.
Memory adds value to the items. We live in the material world, but I really felt cherishing what we have is great! They launched their online shop last month. Check it out!
