    Once you have finished selecting the items you like, press the Wishlist button on the top right of the screen. Here you will see all the things you selected on your Wishlist. Adjust the quantity you would like for each item, and then fill in the rest of the questions on the form. This is very important so that we can send you a refined Quote.

    Then lastly, press Send Enquiry; we then know the exact products you are interested in. Someone from our Styling Team will reply to your enquiry at their earliest convenience.
