How Enriched Product Attributes Improve Product Discovery

Prev Next

Overview

Enriched Product Attributes are generated from your standard product catalog using styling expertise and machine-learning models, converting technical specifications into shopper-friendly language through a three-layer attribute model:

  • Physical Attributes (e.g., color, sleeve length, fabric)

  • Contextual Attributes (e.g., occasion, season, trend)

  • Derived Attributes (e.g., vibe, wardrobe, feel)

They describe why, when, and for whom the product is suitable, bridging technical data with shopper understanding.

The product shown below demonstrates how enriched attributes are applied in practice.
