This project explores the potential for Italian luxury brand N°21 to enter the New York City handbag market. Developed collaboratively by a team of 5 during our Luxury Brand Management Master's at Istituto Marangoni, the project includes:

  • Market Research: Analysis of demographics, the New York luxury handbag market, and N°21's brand identity and visual elements.

  • Activation Proposal: A strategic plan focusing on ideal placement, targeted promotions, and future possibilities for N°21 in New York City.

Objective: This project focused on product development for the luxury brand N°21

  • Trend Forecasting: We conducted research to identify upcoming trends that could align with the brand's natural evolution.

  • Product Proposal: Based on the analysis, we proposed new colors and materials for the brand's next seasonal collection.

  • Development Tools: We created a product chart to visualize the proposed collection and a cost sheet to estimate production costs. Additionally, we developed design sketches or mood boards to showcase the overall look and feel of the collection.
