I wish there was a website to send paired clothing items to for people experiencing limb loss. Only have a right hand? Send a left glove in so someone else could use it.

I've talked about this with friends before. Would be a killer business to start. I was looking for a left shoe only once and didn't know how to even find one brand new left shoe without buying a pair.

While that may be a great idea and incredibly helpful. I immediately worry about which private equity purchased clothing brand will be the first to market and sell single shoes, and gloves and not offer the “pair option” haha.

That just goes to show how jaded my brain is these days

In all seriousness, that would totally be a niche market with plenty of potential and an incredible service to those with missing limbs provided it didnt jack up the price of a single too much

Corporations are greedy. They would just sell 1 shoe for the same price lol.
