Pockets is an optional feature attribute on Bloomingdale's Marketplace for the kids and baby outerwear department. It lists the pockets on a coat or jacket by type and location, and Bloomingdale's shows the value as a feature bullet on the product page. Bloomingdale's own definition names slit, zip, patch and snap-flap pockets and locations such as inner, chest, upper left sleeve and hip.
Bloomingdale's Marketplace runs on Mirakl and shares attribute definitions with Macy's. Each apparel department has a pockets field; this page covers kids and baby outerwear. Kids bottoms use Pockets and women's outerwear uses Pockets & Location.
The rules
| Rule | Detail |
|---|---|
| Required | No |
| Level | Parent listing, one value for every color and size |
| Length | Up to 254 characters, spaces included |
| Format | One phrase, no trailing period |
| Content | How many pockets, what type and where; functional or faux when known |
Count the pockets, name the type (slit, welt, patch, zip, snap-flap, kangaroo, cargo) and say where they sit (front, side, chest, hip, interior, upper left sleeve). Say functional or faux when the source states it; pockets stitched shut for shipping still count as functional. Leave the field blank when the garment has no pockets. The phrase must hold for the whole style, so no colorway or size references.
Examples
| Value | Verdict | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Zip chest pocket and two hand pockets | Good | Count, type and location |
| Two snap-flap front pockets and one interior pocket | Good | Covers the inside pocket shoppers ask about |
| Zip pocket on upper left sleeve | Good | Uses one of Bloomingdale's named locations |
| Faux flap pockets | Good | States the pockets are decorative |
| Plenty of room for treasures. | Weak | Sentence with a period, no pocket facts |
| Red patch pockets | Weak | Names one colorway |
Common mistakes
- Filling the field for a pocketless garment. Blank is correct.
- Calling stitched-shut pockets faux. If they open once the stitching is removed, they are functional.
- Forgetting interior pockets, which photos rarely show but descriptions often mention.
How Osello fills this field
Osello treats Pockets as an optional parent-level text field on kids and baby outerwear listings, so one phrase is shared by every variant. The AI reads the product description first, then attributes, then images, counts and locates the pockets, and writes at most 254 characters with no trailing period. When nothing shows or states pockets, the field stays blank. Wording preferences can be set with custom instructions.
Frequently asked questions
Is Pockets required on Bloomingdale's?
No. It is optional in the kids and baby outerwear department.
Are pockets sewn shut for shipping faux?
No. They are functional once the basting thread is removed, so describe them as regular pockets.
Should I count the pockets?
Yes. "Two front slant pockets" is more useful than "Slant pockets", and the count is part of what Bloomingdale's asks for.
