Browsing the store
There are many different ways to find what you're looking for on Zoovillage. You find them in the left column, where the menus for shopping and navigating always are accessible.
By clicking any of the dropdown menys to the top left (A) you can choose which clothes you want to see, either by brand or by category (every category has subcategories so that you can choose between browsing "Pants" or just "Pants -> Jeans").
The search function(B) searches through the clothes' brand, colour, name, type and description.
This is a very handy tool: If you know what the garment you're looking for is called, you can of course type in the garment's name and search for it, but by combining search strings you can find clothes with just the right properties, without even knowing about them.
For example, you can search for "volcom top" to get a list of all tops from Volcom. Add colors and you'll find the clothes you look for in a specific color; a search for "red top" will list every top that is red.
If you want to be really advanced you can search for functions du efter funktioner som stated in the garment description: "black ipod hood jacket" will make a search for all black jackets with hoods and iPod-pockets.
Note that the garment descriptions doesn't always contain every piece of information about a garment, which means they might be excluded from the search results even though the have the properties you are looking for.
If you want to check out what's new, simply klick on "New in store" (C). There you'll always find the most recent clothes, the same second as they're added to our database. Shopping
When you've chosen brand or category you'll get an overview of the garments matching that selection. Above the garments you'll find a menu where you can change this selection. In the three drop down-menus you choose which brand you want to view (1), which category you want to view (2) and how they should be sorted (3) (note that this sorting doesn't exclude anything - "Sort by: Womens" just means that womens clothes are sorted before unisex and mens clothes).
By combining the drop down-menus you kan sort the selection so that you'll see the most relevant clothes first, for example "Evisu - Jeans - Latest arrivals".
By default you'll see twelve garments per page, but this can be changed (4). If there's more garments than the number you've chosen to see per page, you can browse the pages by clicking the left and right arrows (5).
When you see a garment you're interested of, you can either click on the picture of that garment, or on "Info/Buy" to see more detailed information about the product. You'll then see a bigger picture, along with price (A), available sizes (B), description (C), washing instructions (D) and measurements (E) (washing instructions and measurements are not entered when deemed superfluous).

To browse different items in "detailed view", you can click the arrows above the garment (H). You can go back to the overview by clicking "Back" (I).
If you've decided that you want the garment, read the description (C) thoroughly, as it might contain important information about the garment that the picture cannot convey. Then compare measurements. This is important as different brands indicate sizes differently (i.e. Eckös medium garments are always bigger than Cheap Monday's). To be sure that the garment you order fits, we recommend that you measure a similar garment that fits you well (lay it on a flat surface and measure) and compare the measurements you get with the ones Zoovillage has stated (E).
If you find a size that seems right, highlight the size (B) (if a size is mising it means it's sold out; don't worry, we always try to purchase for of items that sell out) and click "Add to cart", right under the list of available sizes. Your garment is now added to your shopping cart. The shopping cart
