How to Categorize Products for Sarenza Marketplace

Understanding Sarenza Product Categorization

Sarenza has established itself as one of Europe's premier online destinations for footwear, offering an extraordinary selection of shoes for women, men, and children from over 650 renowned brands. Founded in 2005 in France, Sarenza has grown to become a pan-European leader in online shoe retail, serving customers across more than 30 countries with a catalog that includes everything from high-fashion designer heels to comfortable everyday sneakers. The platform's success stems from its exceptional curation, user-friendly shopping experience, and commitment to offering both well-known international brands and emerging designers to fashion-conscious consumers throughout Europe.

The Sarenza product taxonomy reflects the sophisticated organization required for a major fashion footwear retailer operating across multiple European markets. The taxonomy is primarily organized by gender, with major categories for Femme (Women), Homme (Men), and Enfant (Children). Within each gender category, products are classified by shoe type including categories such as Escarpins (Pumps), Bottines (Ankle Boots), Bottes (Boots), Baskets (Sneakers), Sandales (Sandals), Ballerines (Ballet Flats), Mocassins (Loafers), Mules, Chaussures de sport (Sports Shoes), and Chaussures de ville (Dress Shoes). The taxonomy also incorporates seasonal collections, trending styles, brand-specific sections, and special categories for occasions like weddings, work, or casual weekend wear. Each main category features detailed subcategories organized by style, heel height, material, and occasion.

Our AI-powered categorization API has been specifically trained to understand French footwear terminology and Sarenza's unique taxonomy structure. The system recognizes the nuanced distinctions between shoe types that are important in the French fashion market, understanding the differences between escarpins, stilettos, and talons hauts, or between bottines, boots, and cuissardes. Whether you need to categorize designer escarpins Christian Louboutin, casual Stan Smith baskets, or classic Chelsea boots, our API delivers accurate classifications that align with Sarenza's expectations. Proper categorization is essential because Sarenza customers often browse by specific shoe types and styles, and products in incorrect categories fail to reach fashion-conscious shoppers searching for particular looks.

Sarenza Taxonomy System

Sarenza's product taxonomy follows the sophisticated approach required for a fashion-forward footwear retailer, with careful attention to the style distinctions and trend-driven categories that European fashion consumers expect. The taxonomy enables customers to navigate efficiently to their desired shoe style, whether browsing for the season's latest trends or searching for classic wardrobe staples. Understanding this taxonomy is essential for sellers who want to maximize product visibility on the Sarenza platform across its multiple European markets.

The taxonomy operates on multiple hierarchical levels. At the top level, products are divided by target demographic: Femme (Women), Homme (Men), and Enfant (Children), with Enfant further divided into Fille (Girls), Garçon (Boys), and Bébé (Baby). Within the women's category, extensive subcategories include Escarpins (various heel heights and styles), Bottines (ankle boots in multiple styles from Chelsea to western), Bottes (tall boots including cuissardes), Baskets (from chunky dad sneakers to minimalist designs), Sandales (flat, heeled, compensées), Ballerines, Mocassins, Derbies, Mules et sabots, and Chaussons (slippers). The men's taxonomy follows a similar structure with categories including Baskets, Derbies et richelieux, Mocassins, Bottines, Sandales, and specialized sport categories. Our AI system understands these hierarchical relationships and fashion nuances to determine the most appropriate category path.

Sarenza continuously updates their taxonomy to reflect fashion trends, seasonal collections, and emerging styles. Our AI models are regularly retrained to incorporate these taxonomy changes, ensuring your products are always categorized according to the latest Sarenza standards and fashion trends.
