ZIII  TECHNIQUES

ZIII Handbags emphasize dialectic characteristics of material on human expression. Along with simple lines and structure for distinctive details, Oivong understands the private and public nature of handbag itself, and enriches its visual effects such as transparency, opacity, reflection and refraction. Together with firmness through softness, still from vibration, elegant and chic, comfort and taste, she unveils spirit of personality and freedom.

Regarding core features of personality, Oivong combines the temperament of delicateness and stylish of handbags. Another aesthetic feature of freedom is achieved by exploring organic forms flow from angle to pane, with an open end organization in compact space.

Oivong also introduces many innovations for handbag design. One of the significant design innovations is to make the jewel-like films grouped into sweeping bands of pattern, dazzling of texture, and showering with beams of light and color. They welcome surrealistic sunlight, spotlight or flashlight to touch the private sphere of handbags in a way that no ordinary handbags could.

Oivong's Artistic Canvas

The primary ZIII raw material, viz., the natural 100% cotton canvas, coupled with innovative manufacturing techniques have led to, never before thought of unique and novel usages of Eco-friendly natural fiber. The manufacturing process of these products i.e., layer treated with computer manipulation and coating treated with silk screen technique. Such professionality has been developed over years of dedicated Research & Development work.

Oivong's Artistic Leather

Some ZIII handbags are complemented with artistic leather. The technological innovation of this kind of handbags is the artistic printing on leather (a luxury hand-processing leather effect worked with special printing technique). For these materials, Oivong suggests integrating the hand-painted and digital printing technology on textile to leather surfaces, or on Real-Fake images.  This is the real evolution for the handbag design. The result of this process is fine leather perfectly identical with the transferring method of textile or photographing, thus obtaining an excellent quality superior to any possible expectation in fashion.

Oivong's Artistic Film

Oivong's artistic film for handbags consists of segments of transparent or semi-transparent PVC or EVA. They feature by the use of printed films or a plate of reflective canvas.  Different touches and patterns are painted or collaged on the inner sides of the insulating plate of handbags.  The transparent films can transmit light, but also can produce shimmering patterns of color in response to reflected light. Taking on the intrinsic color of the PVC or EVA, the films are available in literally variety of colors, surface textures, and degrees of transparency.  The light that reflects or passes through the artistic films appears colorized, thus to stir a dream-like mood and exhibit the romantic effects (refer to the chapter 'ZIII Technique').

Oivong's Alternative Materials

With a view to breaking through the use of traditional materials, Oivong explores special ones that had never been related to but now for handbags. In one series, the handbags are made with steel wire, and are ornamented with hardware like screws, iron chains, and stopcocks in which the stopcock is ZIII’s company logo. Not only are the hardware-fabric and hardware-ornaments emit a sense of toughness and coolness, they all together unfold the art-fashion aesthetics. Maybe that would have been another story for Dadaism to exhibit commonplace objects in order to reject traditional art forms.  While all the hardware used is reusable and recyclable, intentionally or not, a message of oppose-wastage is therefore hinted. In addition to technological and conceptual transformation from commonplace to precious rareness, it results in an artistic-sociological reflection.
