Pockets (if applicable) is one of the feature bullets Bloomingdale's collects for items in its Kids & Baby tops department. It is optional: fill it when the top has pockets, leave it empty when it does not. The value shows in the features list on the Bloomingdale's product page, and it is set once per style, so every color and size of the top shares it.
The rules
| Rule | Value |
|---|---|
| Required | No. Blank is the correct answer for a top with no pockets |
| Level | Parent listing, shared by all colorways and sizes |
| Maximum length | 254 characters including spaces |
| Format | One phrase, no trailing period |
| Content | How many pockets, what type, where they sit, functional or faux |
| Never include | Color or size details |
Pocket types worth naming on a kids' or baby top: patch, kangaroo, zip, snap-flap, welt, slit, chest. Locations: front, chest, side, hip, interior, upper left sleeve. Say "functional" or "faux" when you know it; a pocket stitched shut for shipping still counts as functional.
Kids & Baby tops compared with other departments
Bloomingdale's asks the same question in several departments as separate fields. This page covers the Kids & Baby tops version; the women's active bottoms one is at Pockets. The phrasing rules match, but "Five-pocket styling" belongs to jeans. On a top the usual answers are a chest pocket, a kangaroo pocket on a hoodie or patch pockets on a shirt.
Examples
| Value | Verdict | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Kangaroo pocket at the front | Good | Type and location |
| Zip chest pocket and two hand pockets | Good | Count, type and location for every pocket |
| Faux flap pockets at the chest | Good | Says the pockets are decorative |
| Pockets | Weak | No count, type or location |
| Has two pockets. | Weak | A sentence with a trailing period |
| Pink kangaroo pocket | Weak | Names a color, which varies inside the style |
Common mistakes
- Filling the field with "None" or "N/A" instead of leaving it blank.
- Describing a pocket that only one colorway has.
- Calling a pocket faux because the sample has it basted shut.
How Osello fills this field
Osello treats this as an optional text field on the parent listing, written once per style and inherited by every variant. When a listing is in a Kids & Baby tops category, it reads the product description first, then the attributes, then the images, and writes one phrase with the pocket count, type and location. When nothing in the source mentions or shows a pocket, the field stays empty. You can adjust the wording with custom instructions; the full list of attributes is in the Bloomingdale's field directory.
Frequently asked questions
Should I write anything when the top has no pockets?
No. Leave the field blank. Bloomingdale's marks it "if applicable" for this case, and a "None" entry becomes a pointless bullet on the product page.
Does a pocket that is sewn shut count as faux?
No. Pockets basted closed for shipping are functional, because the customer opens them. Use "faux" only for pockets that never open.
Can I mention the pocket color?
No. The bullet is shared by every colorway of the style. Describe the pocket by count, type and location only.
