RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Our research background includes design sketches, proto sample development in New York City, market researches for product assortments and price points, factory researches for souring and production, consumer demographic and geo location researches. Based on our researches, we saw a need for high quality, uniquely designed handbags for under USD250 for women in 24 to 45 age group. In terms of researching tools, we used Google analytics, Adobe creative suite, WGSN for trend forecasts and door to door analysis to collect floor feedbacks from sales managers, buyers and customers. We also hosted in store popup events to collect valuable feedbacks from direct consumers.
CHALLENGE: The hardest part of bringing Addicted bracelet bag to life is to find an reliable leather factory with experienced artisans to handmade all handbags with sensibly sourced, high quality leather to ensure durability and inherent luxury. With a luxury fashion background, our founder Parisa Wang were able to source factories and leather workshops globally from Turkey, Korea, Spain, Hongkong, and India and finally locked in an experienced factory in Hongkong who work with advanced contemporary handbag labels to produce our designs.
