Problems solved by technology

Costumers in the wardrobe, film and entertainment industries are often plagued with problems related to the organization and continuity of costumes.

For example, with current bags the costume designer may be unable to see exactly what has been put into each bag due to a lack of proper organizational tools within the bag, causing items to be broken, forgotten or two characters / people to accidentally wear the same thing.

In another instance, the lack of organization in current bags could result in one or more garments or accessories being left behind.

For example, a high profile celebrity has to travel out of town for a major event, but their stylist is unable to pre-fit or talk through the outfit before the celebrity has to depart.

As a result, the celebrity assembles the outfit incorrectly and misses out on the stylist's trendsetting tips.

This could be a significant problem as wardrobe can be a big part of the celebrity's public appeal.

A last example is when identification tags or accessories are lost or ripped out of the bag during transportation and / or storage.

This forces the costumer to spend valuable time searching through continuity paperwork, inventory and original purchasing paperwork to find or re-purchase the correct pieces.
