By clicking on the picture of an item or through the field Size, the detailed ITEM CARD of every product found on our website opens making it possible for you to view the order options available, the relevant information linked to the product and the most important regular fields that characterize it, which are:
CODE
Code is the ID of the product. By knowing the code, you can choose among a range of search means to select it at any given time. Every code is made up of four (4) fields such as (xx-xxxx-xx-xxx).
The first two digit number refers to the group the product belongs to (e.g. motif, lace, ribbon, etc.)
The second four digit number refers to the age order. The bigger the number is, the newer the item is.
The third two digit number refers to if the product is available in different materials and basic colours (e.g. tortoiseshell, see through, white, black, gold, silver, etc.)
The fourth three digit number refers to the size of each product.
For example, the code 61-0245-02-035 possesses the following analysis:
61=Cotton Motif
0245=Age Order
02=Ecru
035=35 Millimeters
DESCRIPTION
In the description, an effort is made to describe briefly and as well as possible what, according to us, best describes every product. This is very important as it is the easiest way to search. By knowing the way the products are described and the use of key words, finding what you need is much easier. E.g. if in the field SEARCH the word "foot” is given, buttons with a foot will appear, among other things.
GROUP
In order to make managing the products easier, they have been classified into groups. The criteria being the use of each product and what it is made of. Each group has a sub-group (e.g. Lace Group – Sub-group: Nylon, Cotton, White With Needlework, Elastic, etc.). All the groups are found in the middle horizontal bar of the home page and by selecting one, the sub-group included is unfold. By choosing the field PRODUCTS, a faster and wider presentation of the groups and sub-groups that our products have been classified as is available.
CATEGORY
The products are separated into active, activate under conditions and non active. The active ones are available in any quantity and may be products which we produce or import. The active under conditions products are the ones that are available in specific quantities and if we run out of stock, a minimum amount must be ordered. Lastly, the non active products are those which are available only in specific amounts.
Concerning the above, all our products have been divided into four categories.
PRODUCTION ITEM
These are the active items which we produce in Greece and are available for orders placed in any amount. These products are usually delivered in a short time, are available in large stocks and custom orders are granted more easily.
IMPORTED ITEM
These are the active items which are imported and are available for orders placed in any amount. These products usually demand more time for their delivery, are in stock in random amounts every time and a minimum amount must be ordered for custom orders.
ITEM WITH A MINIMUM
It refers to the products which are not produced at this time due to the fact that they are usually old and outdated materials. They are available in specific amounts which are stated in the item card and, if they are out of stock, an order can be placed only with a minimum amount (which is shown on the card of each item) and after re-pricing them.
PRODUCT NOT PRODUCED
It refers to the products which are now off the standard sample book and cannot be reproduced.They are available only in specific amounts which are stated for every item according to size and colour in the item card and when we have run out of stock, a new order cannot be placed.These products are usually offered at very low prices.
MEASUREMENTS
The metric system used and which detail of the product the measurement refers to is found in this field. Each product can be available in one or more sizes. In addition, each product has its own metric system in regards to a size characteristic (e.g. the cotton motif 61-0516 is size 480 and refers to millimeters per height whereas the plastic button 82-0443 is available in sizes 40, 44 and 48 and refers to LINE per diameter. Available examples of products and sizes concerning different metric systems are available in PDF with a proportion of 1-1 for printing at Prints through the field My Account.
