Answer 1: possible problems could have caused due to stacking of hand bags in inadequate storage place:
i) Peeling off faux leather
ii) Damage on outer layer
iii) Deformation of shape
iv) Wrinkles on bag strap
v) Difficulty in insertion and extraction of bags
vi) Possible entanglement of zips/buckles

Answer 2:
i) single hook has been installed which will resist the entanglement of straps
ii) Bags have aligned in upright direction
iii) Extraction and insertion has become much handier
But following aspects have still not been resolved in solution A:
i) The material of bags can damage due to close proximity and by rubbing with each other.
ii) Possibility of wrinkles on bag straps
iii) Possible entanglement of zips/buckles

Answer 3:
i) Multiple separate hooks for each bag have been installed to avoid impression of bags on each other.
ii) A supporting wooden wedge has been installed at the base of bags to sustain load. Load of bag will be distributed
to straps as well as to wedge.
iii) Possibility of entanglement of zips/buckles have been minimized.
iv) Insertion and extraction or finding a particular bag is much easier now.

Answer 4: (Possible modifications from students)

i) The round shape of hooks can still deform and deshape the strap of bags.
ii) The aesthetics of product can improve by painting it same color as of wardrobe.
iii) The open hanging of bags will cause accommodation of residue and dust on bags, they should have kept in boxes.
iv) etc
