Product Measurements & Standards

Handbag Measurement Standards
We make every effort to accurately measure all the items we sell.  We measure our items in their normal state without manipulating the product to increase or decrease the size and the measurements are done in inches.  Our measurement code names and abbreviations mean:

Purse Measurements and Standards

L - Length - Measurement represents the widest point of the purse when the purse is facing you.

H - Height - Typically the measurement from the bottom of the purse to the top of the purse.

W - Width - Refers to the width, or also known as the depth of the purse.

Strap Length and Drop - We measure the entire length of the strap.  Drop refers to the distance between the center of the strap and the center of the top of the purse.
What do these numbers mean?
 



Color Standards and Monitor Calibration

Our color codes are designed to help you understand the dominant colors of the item.  Here is what they mean:

  • Purses and Wallets.  When you are looking at a purse or wallets, the first color represents the color of leather or main fabric.  The second color always represents the color of the hardware.
  • Wristwatches.  The first color represents the main color of the watch while the second color refers to the color of the face.
  • Shoes.  We make every attempt to describe the items we sell to the best of our ability.  When you are shopping for shoes, the first color is always the dominant color.  If a second color is mentioned, it reflects the color of the sole.

While we make every attempt to display the images, of the items we sell, showing the items true colors.  Every computer owner has different lighting and monitor conditions which may interfere with how you see an item.  Cristian Valentino provides you with a simple tool to calibrate your monitor.  If done correctly, items in your computer should appear as close to accurate as possible.  Follow this simple steps to adjust your monitor to display our images the best way possible.

  • Looking at the image bellow, you will notice a series of boxes.  The first box should appear 100% black to you.  The second box allows you to adjust your contrast and brightness and the third box allows you to adjust your colors or RGB values.
  • Set your brightness to the intensity you prefer.  Then if you have a contrast setting, change the setting until the middle box disappears.  Once it disappears, step back your adjustment until it is slightly visible again.  This exercise adjusts your contrast and brightness.  When making changes, make certain that no monitor menu screens are active as they can interfere with the color renderings.
  • The last change you will need to make is to adjust your colors.  Look at the third box.  Thiss is a gray box.  The color should be a neutral gray with no tints or hues.  Change your color settings until you see that this box is gray.  Once you complete this step, you monitor should be calibrate for our images.  Please be advice that we assume no responsibilities with your monitor.  Most monitors allow you to reset to factory settings in case you accidentally make an undesirable adjustment.

Metric to Imperial Conversion Formula

The standard in Jewelry measuring is the metric system as it is more precise for smaller numbers.  When converting from Metric to Imperial, use the formula 1 mm = 0.03937 Inches.   Therefore we can derive the following values which we are most familiar with.

Imperial (Inches) Metric (Millimeters)
