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.
