Dump It Out - a Study on the Handbag
Handbags are a key accessory in the world of fashion. Their market value is significant and continues to rise. For young people, a handbag is more than an accessory or fashion item. Young people can spend a lot of money on a designer handbag. Inside a handbag, they are carrying objects/signifiers of who they were/are/want to be. Further to a conventional interpretive study for thick description, a new research method – dump it out, is introduced. The authors would like to forward our sincerest gratitude to the Hong Kong Polytechnic University for the funding of this research.
