Applicants should send high-resolution images of the accessory, showing the product from different angles, together with a detailed textual description of the design elements. Main image is especially important and should either be isolated on white background or should be a professional photograph showing the accessory with an attractive fashion model. In addition to images, cleaning, washing or maintenance instructions could further be provided as support documents.
