Frequently Asked Questions
Common Questions
How can I register for the newsletter?
On the main page at the bottom right is a box called "Newsletter Subscribing". You can type in your email address here and you will regularly receive our newsletter in the future. There are lots of advantages by signing up for our newsletter that only our newsletter readers will get. For example, when you sign up, you will get a "10% off"-coupon which you can use for your next order. Additional, our readers receive regular information about special offers, discounts, announcements of new items, birthday coupons etc. Of course you can always unsubscribe from our newsletter whenever you want.
How can I unsubscribe from the newsletter?
You can find in every newsletter at the bottom on the email a cancellation link. Click on it and your email software will prepare an email for you which you have to send to us. Thereupon your email address will be automatically deleted by our newsletter software from our database. Please be aware that you can only unsubscribe with your registered email address and not with a different email address. Otherwise our software cannot find your email address and won't be able to delete it.
Do you offer your items for wholesale business as well?
Yes, we do deliver our unique items to shops, online shops and wholesalers as well. We own all required documents and licenses to be able to export worldwide. Additional, we have gained lots of experience in the wholesale business already and can help you if you have any questions about ordering our products and importing them to your country. Further information about our wholesale terms and conditions can be found here:Wholesale.
Are the colors on the photos correct?
We are trying our best to represent our products with photos that are as realistic as possible and their colors natural. Unfortunately, based on technical problems (every monitor shows a slightly different color than another) it is possible that the colors on our photos slightly differ from the real colors.

How does the search function work?
Simple Search:
The simple search helps you to find the item you are looking for.
This is very easy; you can find the search text field on every site at the upper right corner of the page. You just have to type in your keyword in the upper right search text field. The use of lower case letters and capitalization is not important.
It doesn't matter on which page you are typing in your search, it will always search our complete product database. You have the following possibilities searching for an item:
- one keyword: e.g. wallet
- more keywords: e.g. wallet black
Additional it is possible to use logical operators like "AND" and "OR". For example you can type in the following keywords: t-shirt AND blue. The search result would be all t-shirts in blue.
Furthermore, you can use brackets to refine your search result, like t-shirt AND (blue OR black OR "dark blue"). By using quotation marks you can combine several keywords to one keyword. The search result in this case would be all t-shirts in blue, black and dark-blue. You have a bigger selection than with just using "t-shirt AND blue".
After you typed in your keywords, click the "enter" -key on your keyboard or the button "Go" on the right side of the text field. A few seconds later you will see your search results.
Advanced Search:
If the simple search isn't enough for you or your search result is too long, you can consider using the Advanced Search function. Here you can refine your search even more.
The following options are available:
Keywords: You can type in your keywords as explained above
Categories: You limit your search result to a specific category. Please choose one category if you are looking for an item in a specific category.
Manufacturer: It is also possible to choose a manufacturer, so the search result will only show items that match your keywords and are from the chosen manufacturer.
Price over and Price up to: Do you have a certain budget for your purchase? Use this function to set the price area you are willing to spend. For example, for "Price over" type in "10" and "Price up to" "30". The search result will show all items that cost more than 10 Euros/US$ but are cheaper than 30 Euros/US$.
Go Back to Main Page
Click on our logo "modeS" (upper left corner) or on the link "Main page" (left in the light-purple bar) and you will return to the main page of our online shop.
