Bloomingdale's Fur or Hair (Kids & Baby Backpacks, Kids & Baby Beach and Bath Towels, Kids & Baby Belts and 16 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, etc.) and 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 on Bloomingdale's Marketplace describes any fur, hair or shearling on an item: what it is made of and where it sits. This page covers the version of the field for the kids and baby accessories department, such as a trapper hat with faux fur trim or shearling-lined mittens. The field is optional, it sits on the parent listing so one value covers every colorway and size, and Bloomingdale's shows it on the product page as a feature bullet.

Bloomingdale's field description says every real fur, trim or body, needs a fur form from the vendor stating the animal, the treatment (natural, dyed) and the country of origin, with the exact animal named (Asiatic versus northern raccoon). Osello's listing instructions go further and treat real fur as not accepted on marketplace items, so in practice the field describes faux fur, shearling, and calf or cow hair.

The rules

Rule Value

Length At most 254 characters, spaces included

No fur or hair Leave blank

Examples

Value Verdict Reason
Faux fur (polyester) trim at hood Good Material, fiber and location
Genuine shearling lining Good Shearling named as such
Calf hair front panel Good Correct term for the hair
Pony hair bow Weak "Pony hair" is never used
Fur trim Weak Does not say faux, no fiber or location

Common mistakes

  • Writing "pony hair" for calf or cow hair.
  • Calling faux fur "fur" without the word faux and the fiber.
  • Filling the field with "None" for an item that has no fur or hair; leave it blank.

How Osello fills this field

Osello treats Fur or Hair as an optional text field on the parent listing for items placed in a kids and baby accessories category on Bloomingdale's. The AI agent fills it only when the product description, attributes or images mention fur, hair or shearling; otherwise it leaves the field blank. When it does, it writes one phrase within the 254-character limit naming faux fur with its fiber and location, shearling as shearling, and calf or cow hair by those names. The value is set once per style group and shared by every colorway and size. The fiber usually comes from the same source data as the materials field. The other fields in this department are in the Bloomingdale's field directory.

Frequently asked questions

Do I fill Fur or Hair when the item has no fur?

No. Leave it blank. The field is only for items with fur, faux fur, hair or shearling.

Can I list real fur trim in this field?

Bloomingdale's requires a completed fur form for any real fur, and Osello's listing instructions treat real fur as not accepted on marketplace items. Describe faux fur with its fiber and location instead.

Is "pony hair" an acceptable term?

No. Bloomingdale's never uses "pony hair". Write "calf hair" or "cow hair".
