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:

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.
