Closures is an optional feature attribute on Bloomingdale's Marketplace for the kids and baby outerwear department. It describes how a coat, jacket or vest fastens, and Bloomingdale's builds one of the on-site feature bullets directly from the value.
Bloomingdale's Marketplace runs on Mirakl and shares its attribute definitions with Macy's. Every apparel department has a closure field; this page covers the kids and baby outerwear one. Related fields include Closure for kids tops and Closure for women's outerwear, which is required there.
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 | Closure type, location and visibility |
State the type (zipper, buttons, snaps, toggles, hook-and-eye, tie, wrap, buckle), the location when known (front, back, side, and call out asymmetric placement), and any qualifiers the source states: concealed or exposed, adjustable, detachable, or a storm placket over the zipper. A garment with no closure, such as a pullover fleece, takes "Pullover styling".
The shared closure instructions also carry defaults for other departments when the source says nothing: knit bottoms take "Pull-on styling", denim takes "Front zip fly with button closure", tailored trousers take "Front zip fly with hook-and-bar closure". For outerwear there is no default. If the description and images give no closure, leave the field blank.
Examples
| Value | Verdict | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Front zip closure with snap storm placket | Good | Type, location and the placket |
| Toggle and loop front closure | Good | Names an outerwear-specific closure |
| Pullover styling | Good | Correct phrase for a no-closure fleece |
| Zips up easily for busy mornings. | Weak | Marketing sentence with a period |
| Pink buttons down the front | Weak | Describes one colorway |
Common mistakes
- Writing "N/A" instead of leaving the field blank or using "Pullover styling".
- Putting the belt here. A tie belt is described in Belt; the wrap itself can be "Wrap closure with tie belt".
- Listing every snap on the cuffs and hood. Cuff snaps belong in Cuffs.
How Osello fills this field
Osello treats Closures as an optional parent-level text field on kids and baby outerwear listings, so one phrase covers every variant. The AI reads the product description first, then the attributes, then the images, applies the shared closure vocabulary and category defaults, and writes at most 254 characters with no trailing period. With no closure information anywhere in the source it leaves the value blank. Brand-specific wording can be set through custom instructions.
Frequently asked questions
Is Closures required for kids outerwear on Bloomingdale's?
No. It is optional in the kids and baby outerwear department, unlike women's outerwear where the closure field is required.
Should I describe a concealed zipper?
Yes. Say "Concealed front zip closure" when the zipper sits behind a placket or fabric flap. Visibility is one of the details Bloomingdale's asks for.
Can the closure bullet vary by size?
No. Feature bullets cannot differ between the variants of a style, so write one phrase that is true for every size and colorway.
