Bloomingdale's Fur or Hair (Women's Outfits, Women's Sweaters, Women's Sweatshirts and 2 more) Field Guide

"All fur (trim or body) must have a fur form filled out by the vendor stating the animal type of fur, treatment (natural/dyed) & the country of origin. Note Asiatic vs. northern raccoon (state specific animal).  For fur trim, specify location (hood lining, hood trim, inner bib, etc.) Never say “pony” hair; it is either “cow hair “or “calf hair” and needs a fur form". Max character limit of 254 characters (including spaces).

Fur or Hair is an optional feature attribute on Bloomingdale's Marketplace for the women's tops department. It states any fur, hair or shearling on the garment, its fiber and where it sits, and Bloomingdale's shows the value as a feature bullet on the product page. Bloomingdale's definition requires the exact animal to be named for real fur, calls for the location of any trim (hood lining, hood trim, inner bib) and bans the word "pony" hair: the material is either cow hair or calf hair.

Bloomingdale's Marketplace runs on Mirakl and shares its attribute definitions with Macy's. Several apparel departments carry the field; this page covers women's tops. Outerwear uses Fur or Hair and dresses use Fur or Hair.

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 Fur, hair or shearling with fiber or animal and location; blank otherwise

Bloomingdale's definition says that any real fur, trim or body, needs a fur form from the vendor stating the animal, the treatment (natural or dyed) and the country of origin, and that raccoon must be identified as Asiatic or northern. Osello's channel does not accept real fur, so the value describes faux fur with its fiber, for example "Faux fur (polyester)", and its location. Calf hair and cow hair are named as such, and shearling is named as shearling.

Examples

Value Verdict Reason
Faux fur (polyester) trim at collar Good Fiber and location
Genuine shearling lining Good Names the material without ambiguity
Calf hair panels at front Good Correct term, with placement
Pony hair trim Weak Bloomingdale's does not allow "pony hair"
Fur trim Weak No fiber or animal, no location
Soft and cozy fur collar. Weak Sentence with a period, no fiber

Common mistakes

  • Writing "pony hair". Use "calf hair" or "cow hair".
  • Naming faux fur without its fiber. "Faux fur (polyester)" tells the shopper what it is made of.
  • Filling the field for a garment with no fur, hair or shearling. Blank is the correct value.
  • Leaving out the location of a trim. Bloomingdale's asks where it sits.

How Osello fills this field

Osello treats Fur or Hair as an optional parent-level text field on women's tops listings, so one phrase is shared by every variant. The AI fills it only when the product description, attributes or images mention fur, hair or shearling, writes at most 254 characters with no trailing period, and leaves the field blank when the source says nothing about them. It describes faux fur with its fiber and location and never uses "pony hair". Brand vocabulary can be set with custom instructions.

Frequently asked questions

Is Fur or Hair required on Bloomingdale's?

No. It is optional in the women's tops department and applies only to garments with fur, hair or shearling.

Why can't I write "pony hair"?

Bloomingdale's definition bans the term because the material comes from cows or calves. Write "cow hair" or "calf hair".

How should I describe faux fur?

Name the fiber and the location, for example "Faux fur (polyester) trim at hood". The fiber should agree with the fiber content listed in Product Material.

Does real fur need anything extra?

Bloomingdale's definition requires a vendor fur form stating the animal, the treatment and the country of origin. Osello's Bloomingdale's channel does not accept real fur, so describe faux fur or shearling instead.
