Attention!

Size tables
Choosing the right size is important for every fashion customer. We have decided to make the customer's job easier and to unify the size charts into a universal one, as the specialty fashion stores have and display them always in the same place. The customer will thus be able to view the table via a link next to the size chart directly in the product details.
We believe this will improve our conversion rate and reduce the number of returns.
Below you will find a downloadable file where you will find size charts for adult and children's fashion in all countries.
How to work with the file?
