Fendi: My Bag Concept application for fashion brand Fendi
The aim of my analysis was to offer an innovative approach to luxury product experience, based on technological advancement, particularly an application specializing in Fendi bags. There are two reasons for an Italian brand, such as Fendi, to be chosen as a case study for this project. First of all, the company has not developed an iPhone application yet. Secondly, the brand values are craftsmanship and design, which means that they efficiently combine technology and heritage in a high quality luxury product. Generally speaking the project can be used by several companies in the high end market because it reflects the attitude and the way technology has to be used to reach a specific target. The application is designed to serve two major purposes: 1 It will allow customers to purchase products from Fendi catalogue. 2 Provide the opportunity to create their own bag, choosing from the specific range of colors, shapes and materials, which are used by this famous Italian brand.
