Who is the mother who tried on a coat at Zara in Eindhoven on Sunday, but didn’t buy it because her children came first? When the woman’s story got through to Fatima, she bought the coat herself to give to the unknown woman. Unfortunately, the unknown lady was then gone. That’s why Fatima is looking for her.
Fatima shared her search on social media. In it she describes how last Sunday went. “An unknown lady was trying on a jacket. That jacket looked so nice on her that I wanted to try on the same jacket. I looked for my size and told the woman that I was going to try on the same jacket because it looked so good on her. She sighed and said , I’m completely in love with it too, but not now. The children come first.”
“I looked in the full-length mirror at myself and the new coat and didn’t feel well.”
Fatima replied: “Sometimes the mothers also have to get some fun”, but the woman reacted that it was really not possible. These words touched Fatima’s heart, especially since the jacket wasn’t even that expensive. It cost sixty euros. The unknown woman hung the coat back while Fatima was still standing in front of the full-length mirror with a new coat.
“I looked in the mirror at myself in my new coat and didn’t feel comfortable with it,” Fatima describes. “This coat was meant for her.” She wanted to buy the coat to give to the unknown mother. Unfortunately it was busy and there was a long line at the cash register. When the coat was paid for, the woman was gone.
“That coat looked great on her and I give it to her.”
“I went outside but couldn’t find her anymore,” says Fatima. ‘I thought I’d just keep the jacket myself, but that doesn’t feel right. That coat looked beautiful on her and I give it to her.”
Fatima’s call on closed Facebook groups of Eindhoven residents is shared en masse. Fatima’s chat box is overflowing with compliments, but that makes her a bit uncomfortable. “I don’t think it’s more than normal.” Unfortunately, the woman you are looking for has not yet been found.
