How to filter fabrics
Filtering is how you turn the marketplace grid into a comparable set. Fibre, construction, season, weight, colour, and Best For use are applied on the server from the published catalog. A useful filter removes cloths that cannot meet the brief.
How this uses the marketplace
Add one filter at a time. If the set goes empty, the combination is too tight or that cloth is not published. Weight filters should follow construction, or you will mix voile with jersey.
What to do next
Use filters to choose, then open a fabric. Do not share a long filtered URL as the public canonical. Share /marketplace/ or the fabric page.
Limits
Filtered marketplace URLs are noindex on purpose. Publishing each filter combination would be an infinite doorway set.
Using “how to filter fabrics” in a brief
Filtering is how you turn the marketplace grid into a comparable set. Fibre, construction, season, weight, colour, and Best For use are applied on the server from the published catalog. A useful filter removes cloths that cannot meet the brief.
How to filter fabrics stays on one question. The marketplace at /marketplace/ is still the catalog. This page does not add a price, a certificate, or a count of suppliers.
After you read the limit — Filtered marketplace URLs are noindex on purpose. Publishing each filter combination would be an infinite doorway set. — open a fabric page and copy the composition and construction into the inquiry. Leave GSM blank if that page does not publish weight.
Teams use this note when they need language for how to filter fabrics. They still have to look at the cloth. A heading is not a spec.
Questions about this step
- Why are filter URLs not in the sitemap?
- They are query states of one catalog, not separate articles. The sitemap lists the clean marketplace URL.
