At the “Tailor Made Pop-Up Shop” patrons can drop off their clothes in need of tailoring paying a price of what garment workers are paid around the world by spinning the “Wheel of Wages” which determines the cost to have their garments tailored. Frau Fiber will then tailor or mend the clothes and patrons can pick their clothes up at the end of the pop-up event. |
