Abstract:
This thesis investigates whether luxury handbags in secondary markets make for viable invesments. Reasoning for the investment potential of designer handbags is primarily based on the excessive retail price increases of luxury goods. Prices of handbags were collected from FashionPhile, a source that provides product authentication. The analysis attempts to understand characteristics of the FashionPhile market and how prices changed from April 28, 2006 to March 2, 2011. This thesis identifies which brands and models of handbags had the highest returns and which brands have the highest resale po

Thesis (BTech (Surface Design))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2010.<br>This project looks at the union between the inspiration and the application from our indigenous cultures and the field work that took place at The Keiskamma Organisation with correlation of these to 'Slow Design'. The inspirations drawn from aspects of these sources are to be implemented in a practical form. 'Slow Design' outlines how and why it is vital today to refer to our indigenous cultures in terms of forms and processes in their material culture, as well as their way of life.

Abstract:
En se basant sur la littérature en marketing sur les terminaisons de prix et le pricing du luxe, cette thèse met en évidence le paradoxe résultant de l’utilisation de prix odd (i.e., des prix juste en dessous d’un nombre rond) dans le contexte des produits de luxe où, intuitivement, les prix devraient majoritairement être des nombres ronds. Les pratiques en termes de terminaisons de prix sont étudiées dans la catégorie des sacs à main de luxe. Dans une première partie, la thèse identifie les catégories de terminaison de prix utilisés et les déterminants d’utilisation. Dans une seconde partie,

Abstract:
This creative project resulted in five metal handbags, each based on a specific period from art history: Egyptian, Classical, Art Nouveau, Art Deco and Memphis. These styles range from early human history to contemporary times and possess very explicit and identifiable motifs. They maintain links to each other and impact design to this day.The project culminates in an exhibit. A brief description of the relevant era is printed on attached tags to generate mini art history lessons. People who see or use the handbags will gain exposure to art history they may not otherwise seek out, potentially

Abstract:
The central focus for this creative project was to explore the possibilities of found object and recycled art with emphasis on function and design. After researching the art and the artists who made/make it, a collection of functional art was created. The project resulted in a body of work that consisted of thirteen bags and purses that were made from gift cards and gameboards. The design of 1970's and 1980's art was used as inspiration. Traditional metalsmithing techniques were required for the completion of each work. Copper wire was used as both a structural and ornamental element. The awar

Abstract:
A partire dall’analisi del fenomeno di una nuova valorizzazione della produzione in generale e della figura dell’artigiano in particolare, soprattutto nei mercati anglosassoni, la tesi cerca di capire come le piccole medie imprese italiane possano sfruttare la tradizione manuale e coniugarla con gli strumenti 2.0 per farne un business al tempo stesso locale e globale senza il bisogno di una produzione per grandi lotti. Parte dell’elaborato consiste nel contattare e intervistare direttamente i fondatori di aziende del settore per cercare di capire l’andamento del mercato e i bisogni che queste

Abstract:
My final thesis exhibition, Fashionable Art, opens up a link between art and fashion. I used clay as my primary medium to create hyper-realistic handbags in the style of Trompe l'oeil. I am interested in placing art in fashion settings and fashion in art settings. In the show, I placed many purses on pedestals for a gallery setting, in a glass case for a purse shop setting and also placed large photos in a fashion photo shoot setting. I am concerned with creating an environment that celebrates the handbag from just an accessory to an art object. By using clay as my primary media, the purse bec

Thesis (MA (VA)(Visual Arts))--University of Stellenbosch, 2009.<br>The purpose of the thesis is to contextualise my art works in theoretical terms. As counterpart to my art practice and consistent with its subject matter, the thesis deals with the handbag as subject and investigates the formation of an idiomatic, metaphorical or symbolic visual language that emerges in my handbag Collections. The thesis traces how such language pertains to social, cultural and personal history as sources of its conception to also serve as foundation for the conception of my art works.
