Outline guide for home textiles

Accurate outline selection ensures your home textile products appear in the correct search filters and catalog navigation on Zalando. This guide explains the characteristics for all outline options within the home textiles sub-category under the Home & Lifestyle assortment.

Before onboarding your articles, confirm how your items are grouped:

• Set: Includes at least two different outlines sold together (e.g. an apron with oven gloves).

• Multipack (X pack): Two or more articles of the same outline and identical dimensions sold together.
