“Costumes and props become something more than just a costume or a prop, they become a symbol of our favorite character or the embodiment of our love for our favorite show or our most-watched movie. You spend countless years, sometimes, with these people and their stories. You grow up with them. You watch them fall in love or pass away. You turn to them and their journey or adventures when you’re sad or you had a bad day or even if you’re just bored and want something more exciting out of your day.”
— William Swift, founder and curator
