Design Against Crime Research Centre. London 2008

Grippa clips are aimed at finding more effective ways of using design to reduce bag theft. DAC created, formally user-tested and evaluated the effectiveness and convenience of designs for bag-holding devices.

The communication design delivered was implemented in user-testing, working with two bars in London (Wetherspoons) and two bars in Barcelona (Glaciar and Horiginal) to assess usability of the latest DAC bag hanging Grippa designs.
