Each of these 'Cute Monsters' pendants from A Figurinista reflect quirky craftsmanship, a timeless appeal and futuristic thinking. This designer chose not to follow current fashion trends, instead opting to create unique jewelry inspired by vintage design.
Every 'Cute Monster' pendant has its own character. What a simple, clever approach to show that with little art direction, you can transform old into new!
Implications - Repurposing old goods so that they can have extended product lives allows products to possess both vintage charm and fresh product concepts amongst a sea of cookie-cutter designs. Businesses that produce products with vintage charm or repurposed details can charge increased amounts for their one-of-a-kind products.
