Ruth Barrett and her partner Jordan got married a week before the pandemic shut Britain down. While the couple celebrated their wedding in the nick of time, they missed out on a honeymoon. In the grand scheme of things, the lost trip is not a big deal at all, Barrett says, but when she and Jordan were able to drive their car around their local area for a mini honeymoon a few months later, that felt very special.
The cardigan makes Barrett feel calm, settled and snug. When she was pregnant two years after her wedding, she wore it every day. She wore it when she went into the hospital to be induced to have her son, and she wore it when she left the hospital with him. When her son was three weeks old, Barrett's grandmother died unexpectedly. Again, she wore the cardigan.
In 2018, Anna-Maria Bauer, an Austrian journalist living in Southampton, went on holiday to New Zealand. It was her first very long-distance journey, and after saying goodbye to the friend she had travelled with, Bauer spent the last few days of her trip by herself in an Airbnb in suburban Auckland, slightly nervous about her upcoming flight. When the lady running the Airbnb recommended a high street nearby, Bauer went along to distract herself. Soon, she encountered a small boutique.
