PART THREE: THRIFT & TAILOR MAP Taking into account all of the previous research, the “Thrift & Tailor” map emerged (Appendix E). This map shows all of Housing Works’ thrift store locations in New York City and their surrounding tailors and cleaners. This way, shoppers can look for the thrift store they are shopping at, and find which service is most convenient to them. This system is immediately available to anyone who needs it and connects shoppers with existing service vendors. This eliminates the need for thrift shops to supply their own tailors and services and encourages work from local service providers who already have their own protocols and methods in place.
