How do I know what size of clothing to purchase?

With our size guide, we make it easy to find the best clothing and shoes. We want you to find the most realistic fit. There is a size table found in the product description for each article found in the clothing section. If you have doubts on how to take measures, here is some advice:
Measured wearing only underwear and with your back straight.

Breast line (1): to correctly measure your breast circumference, with your back in the upright position, raise your arms and place the tape measure above the most protruding part of your breasts, lower your arms at your sides and you will have the correct measurement.
Under breast: Measure the circumference of your chest measuring your under breast area.
Waistline (2): measure the circumference of your waist under your ribs. Our measurements are calibrated with a measurement taken between 18 and 20 cm below the armholes.
Hips (3): measure the circumference of your sides at the end of your hips. Our measurements are calibrated with a measurement taken between 18 cm under the waistline.
Outer leg length (4): the length of the outer leg is the measurement that determines the length of your pants. For the right size, measure the length of your straight legs from the hips up to the sole of your feet. Consider that our items have different lengths (e.g. Capri pants, cropped trousers, etc.) and do not usually reach the sole of the feet.
Inner leg length (4): the length of the inner leg is the measurement that determines the length of your pants. Take correct measurements of the inner leg by measuring from the crotch up to the sole of your feet. Consider that our items have different lengths (e.g. Capri pants, cropped trousers, etc.) and do not usually reach the sole of the feet.
According to the garment, the images below show how to correctly place the measuring tape.




How do I know what size of shoes to purchase?

Each product description shows a measuring tape for your feet that shows the length of the sole in centimeters for each fit. The CafèNoir collection sizes are modeled on the measures shown below. Some models may have a slightly different fit depending on the morphology of the foot, but it is still possible to use them as a reference.


  • We recommend that you get a piece of paper and a pencil.
  • Place your foot on the piece of paper and mark the tip of your toes and heel.
  • Do the same think with the other foot. Our feet rarely have the same size. Use your largest foot as reference.
  • With a ruler measure the length from one point to the other in centimeters. The tables below translate the length of your foot into its size.

How do you make deliveries? What if I am not home when the courier comes?

Courier delivery times depend on the forwarder and how they arrange deliveries that day. If you are absent, a notice will be left and an e-mail will be sent to you from which you can arrange an alternate delivery day. The request will not be processed unless new delivery arrangements are made. In this case, our customer service department will contact you again to assist you with the new delivery request.
In the event that orders (paid for by credit card or Paypal) are in storage due to missing delivery information, absent recipient, or inability to deliver in general, if after 10 calendar days delivery is still impossible, the Carrier will return the goods to the Company's warehouse. The order will be cancelled and refunded with a deduction of €19 to €55 for return shipping costs, depending on the country affected by the delivery.

Can I have more information about glasses?

Lenses

POLARIZED LENSES
These particular lenses allow you to screen the reverberation and mirror images that are created when sunlight reflects on reflecting surfaces eg: a wet road surface, a mirror of water or a metal surface. The polarized lenses almost completely absorb all the annoying reflections because, enhancing the contrasts, they offer greater protection against visual fatigue.

MIRRORED LENSES
Mirroring is a treatment that is applied on the external surface of different types of lenses, both mineral and organic, and provides a "mirror" effect to glasses. It can have varying degrees of intensity to completely hide the wearer's gaze, or it can be degrading or present only in some areas of the lens. Often this type of treatment is done only for aesthetic or fashion reasons but it is still extremely functional as reflecting a significant percentage of light, it offers greater visual comfort in extreme lighting conditions, for example in high mountains, in the presence of snow or on the beach.



LENSES WITH BICOMATIC COLOR The different color gradations reduce the amount of light that passes through the lenses. The bichromatic color is obtained when switching from one color to another.

Materials

ACETATE - VEGETABLE PLATE
Acetate is a 100% natural and malleable product that comes from cotton.
Unlike textile processing, the process of converting cotton into acetate is complex. For the production of glasses, the cotton is dried, ground into cellulose powder then mixed with acetic acid, colored, modeled and finally worked in rigid plates. The acetate sheets are then cut and milled to obtain the frames of the glasses.

COMBINED When different materials (metal and / or acetate) are present in the frame, front and rods.

MULTILAYING BONDING Processing that consists of overlapping several plates in different colors, which creates a block with a three-dimensional effect.


Mounts

Misure occhiali

Bridge: Part of the front that connects the two eyepieces ie the distance between the two lenses.
Caliber: Indicates the diameter of the lens, or its width.
Bar: Support between the front of the frame and the ears.


Care and cleaning

As with any quality product, proper care will improve and prolong the use of glasses. Cleaning them is a simple and quick task. The best way is to use cold water and dishwashing liquid; otherwise, a spray cleaner or wet wipes can be used.

The frame suitable for the shape of the face

Viso ovale

OVAL FACES
Who has the oval face is undoubtedly in the optimal condition, the perfect face for glasses. Virtually all the frames adapt to the face. However, it is better to pay attention to the frames with proportions too generous on the sides or to the round and very small glasses. The best choice will be to focus on a rectangular design.

Viso rotondo

ROUNDED FACES
Raccomandiamo di scegliere montature raffinate e più rigorose che sottolineano gli angoli, cioè dal design quadrato o leggermente rettangolare osando anche con misure oversize e con i colori. Queste conferiranno maggiore incisività al profilo di un viso rotondo. Meglio evitare le montature morbide, sottili e arrotondate.

Viso triangolare

TRIANGULAR OR HEART SHAPED FACES WITH HIGH FRONT AND POINTED TOOTH
The best choice is definitely an oval or rounded frame, which has the lens' 'a little' stretched downwards' ', a softer and flatter design in soft colors. Better not to choose frames that are too small or too colorful.

Viso squadrato

SQUARED FACES
For those who have a square face the best solution is definitely to choose a slightly rounded frame, not too small better if '' comes out from the edges of the face '' and with a sweet and rounded shape on the corners. Better to avoid small glasses.
