Pockets is an optional feature bullet Bloomingdale's collects for items in its Women's active bottoms department. It tells a shopper how many pockets a pair of leggings, shorts or joggers has, what kind they are and where they sit. Pocket storage is one of the most-asked questions on active bottoms, so a phone-sized side pocket or a hidden waistband pocket deserves its own line. The value appears in the features list on the product page and is set once per style.
The rules
| Rule | Value |
|---|---|
| Required | No. Leave it blank when the garment has no pockets |
| Level | Parent listing, shared by all colorways and sizes |
| Maximum length | 254 characters including spaces |
| Format | One phrase, no trailing period |
| Content | Count, type, location, and functional or faux when known |
| Never include | Color or size details |
Pocket types: slit, welt, patch, zip, snap-flap, kangaroo, cargo, five-pocket. Locations: front, back, side, chest, hip, interior. A pocket stitched shut for shipping is still functional. Where a department asks for a pocket silhouette instead, the accepted answers are "Five-pocket styling", "Four-pocket styling" or "Faux pockets".
Women's active bottoms
This is the Women's active bottoms version of the pockets bullet; other departments, such as Kids & Baby tops, have their own. On active bottoms the details that matter are side drop-in pockets on leggings, a hidden interior waistband pocket for a key or card, zip pockets on running shorts and a back zip pocket on bike shorts. Say "hidden" or "interior" when the pocket is not visible from the outside, because the images will not show it.
Examples
| Value | Verdict | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Two side drop-in pockets | Good | Count, type and location |
| Hidden interior waistband pocket | Good | Names a pocket the photos cannot show |
| Zip back pocket and two side pockets | Good | Covers every pocket in one phrase |
| Pockets included | Weak | No count, type or location |
| None | Weak | A garment without pockets leaves the field blank |
| Two side pockets on the navy pair | Weak | Colorway reference |
Common mistakes
- Writing "None" or "No pockets" instead of leaving the field blank.
- Missing the interior waistband pocket because it is not in the photos.
- Calling a basted pocket faux.
How Osello fills this field
Osello treats Pockets as an optional parent-level text field. When a listing is in a Women's active bottoms category, it reads the product description first, then the attributes, then the images, and writes one phrase with the pocket count, type and location. The value is written once for the style and shared by every colorway and size. When no pocket is mentioned or visible, the field stays empty. Adjust the wording with custom instructions; the other attributes are in the Bloomingdale's field directory.
Frequently asked questions
What do I write when the leggings have no pockets?
Nothing. Leave the field blank. Bloomingdale's treats an empty pockets bullet as "no pockets".
How do I describe a hidden waistband pocket?
Name it as interior or hidden and say where it is: "Hidden interior waistband pocket". Shoppers cannot see it in the images, so the words carry the information.
Does a pocket stitched shut count as functional?
Yes. Basting for shipping is removed by the customer. Use "faux" only for pockets that are purely decorative.
