For resellers

Know the material before you write the listing.

A practical material-research workflow for Vinted, eBay, Depop and thrift sellers. Build a more useful description from the item you actually have.

What to check yourself

Photograph the whole item, the surface and the label area. Record missing tags and separate parts such as a lining or backing.
Copy any genuine label or manufacturer wording exactly. Describe visible construction and condition in your own words.
Use Materium to explore likely material families and organise a saved reference. Keep the AI assessment separate from documented composition.
Write the listing from supported facts. If composition is unknown, say so instead of turning an estimated percentage into a declared fibre content.

A useful description when the tag is missing

Example wording to adapt: ‘Composition label missing. Close-up photos show the fabric and its construction; measurements and condition are described below.’ Add an exact material claim only when you have supporting information.

Clear, specific information helps buyers understand the item. Keep documented composition and your own observations easy to distinguish.
