home page, choose which type of product you would like to browse through. Underneath the Goldsmiths logo are options running from left to right that you can choose from.
2. Narrow down your searchThe menus down the left-hand side of the screen are there to help you narrow down your search. For example, you can narrow your search down to items by gender, by brand (eg. Gucci, D&G and so on), by price if you are operating within a budget and many more options.

Or, you can 'proceed to checkout' if you are ready to purchase the item in question.
