Spinster

I always thought it would be an excellent idea to market a new line of clothing to young urbanites. As this demographic is focused on being edgy and cool, I thought they would appreciate this new piece, crafted from the finest materials only found in the world’s great cities. Think New York, London, and Tokyo.

Now, I know that you’re saying to yourself, “Fool, this has been done a million times before! Look at Urban Outfitters. Look at American Apparel. The yuppie market has been cornered, my friend. Try again.”

Not so, however.

My idea is brilliant and original—

A cape, stitched from rat fur (the newest in haute couture) and trimmed in pigeon feathers and squirrel tails.

Who’s buying it?
