The Leader of the Pack

In December 2000, during a meeting at the office of Smart Design in Manhattan, Richard Krulik, the CEO of luggage manufacturer Briggs & Riley was trying to explain his company's ethos to the design firm. Grabbing a tote bag, Krulik threw it to the ground and began to stomp on it. "This thing can withstand 500 pounds of pressure. Really, this is a beautiful product! It's like nothing else out there!"

The designers [Smart Design] devised a novel identity system of icons and photographs for the hangtags...and the new labeling was a hit. Since [inception] the number of stores carrying its products has nearly doubled.
