Elisa Rossi
Co-founder, Milaner
Milaner primarily sells luxury bags and accessories. While they had good quality photos of their products on their online store, the challenge was that the photos did not effectively convey all aspects of design. Factors like how big a bag is, how long the straps are while on a person, how bulky the bag is when carried, or how easily it can be held were all features that the retailer was unable to convey using basic product images.
One of the biggest challenges in building model images was the prohibitive cost and time for editorial style photos of every product. Given the wide distribution of teams and artisans, the logistics of arranging for photoshoots was challenging.
Vue.ai’s product imagery solution helped display the customer’s products on models, in this case bags, from basic product photos as inputs. The e-commerce site currently hosts one model image which functions as the primary image, in addition to a few non-model images of the product.

Business Benefits
Product photos with models help shoppers relate to them better. Shoppers also tend to trust a product more when they see it on a person. This increased trust and relatability leads to shoppers engaging more with the products and the site.
When shoppers are able to visualize products well, they are able to make informed buying decisions. With on-model imagery, they are confident about how a product would look, they are more likely to make the decision to buy a product they may have otherwise had apprehensions about.
22% of returns today happen because the product looks different from how it seems on the website.

You can help your shoppers understand your products better by showcasing them on models they can relate to.
