handbag designed only for one customer
total operation time : 1.5 day

why hand-made now?

why do we need to make lot-one product?
what is the value for cusomization?
x100 costs will be paid?


 design process is "imagine customer"

Customer said "I want some bag by leather".

I imagined like this...
    1. characterization of cutomers
      how old is she?
      she prefers cold-color? warm-color?
      she is conventional type? aggressive ?
      her height? armlength? right-handed?
      skin color?
    2. scene
      bags will be used where? how?
      what items inside?
      customer's clothes ?
    3. maintenance
      customer can fix if damaged?
      customer will care if stained?
    4. bias
      customer likes "brand"?
      cutomer knows "hand-made"?
design with full imagination!!
