The search feature allows you to find styles that fall under your specific desire and we have changed and added features to help you find the styles you are looking for. Here is how to use the features:

If you know what you are looking for, then simply type it into the search bar at the top of the page and click enter. Use descriptive keywords or style names to return styles that fall under your search.

Current and popular trends are shown under the Women's, Men's or Both options feature. You can also easily go back to your recent searches with the last search feature.

Most relevant – as you enter key words, the most relevant suggestions related to these words are provided.

Trending – the latest trending styles are provided in relation to the keywords, as you enter them.

Last viewed – styles you have previously viewed.

The filter features allows you to refine by specific attributes of styles that you are looking for. This includes which category they fall into, carton sizes and colour options. Hit the 'Show results' button, to display the results!

You're able to save items for later in your Wish List for 60 days, so if you're browsing the website and aren't ready to buy anything straight away, you can save the item in your Wish List ready for when you want to buy - and you can keep tabs on your must have items in the meantime.

Once an item is added to your Wish List, you'll be able to see if an item has reduced in price since adding it to your saved items list, if the item is out of stock in your chosen colour/size or if it's out of stock completely. You'll even be able to see if the item is low in stock so you can snap it up before it goes out of stock.

The Wish List  button is heart shaped and is on each product page. When you save an item for later, it will be added to your Wish List for 60 days. After 60 days, the item will be removed from the list. To view your Wish List, just click the 'heart' icon at the top right hand side on any page of the website.

Please note, saving an item in your Wish List does not reserve the item for you - items placed in your Wish List can still be bought by other customers. Items can only be reserved for you for 60 minutes, once they're added to your shopping cart. If they stay in your shopping cart for longer than 60 minutes, then they'll be automatically moved to your Wish List, where they will no longer be reserved for you.

If you would like to receive a quote from your Wish List items, you will be able to email this to customer services who will be able to quote on this for you.

Buyer’s Portal is a new feature we have added that allows you to create personalised catalogues and collections to gather together all the styles that you are interested in buying. Here is how to use it:

You can search styles by keywords and filter by categories, season, maximum units per carton, colour, carton quantity, collections list or your previous selections to create new selections. You can also create collections.

From this you will then be shown a range of styles that fall into this specific search you have created, and you can then add of remove styles that you would like in your final selection.

These selections can then be sent to your sales contact who can then help you with your selections. You can also export these selections as a PDF and CSV documents.
