| 16 | + | ## About <!--about--> | |
| 17 | + | Personal Accessories is one of the top-level segments of the GS1 Global Product Classification, the scheme this site uses to file a product by what it is. It sits at the root of the hierarchy, with no parent above it, and gathers the things carried or worn about the person that are neither clothing nor footwear: jewellery and watches, bags and luggage, umbrellas, wallets and the small articles that go with them.[^gpc] | |
| 18 | + | ||
| 19 | + | The segment holds a single family, also called Personal Accessories, which divides into four classes. Jewellery has thirteen bricks, mostly one per kind of article - anklets, bracelets, brooches, cuff-links, earrings and body-piercing jewellery, necklaces and necklets, pendants, rings and tiaras - along with jewellery boxes and pouches, replacement parts such as clasps and chain links, and the usual other and variety-pack bricks. Personal Carriers/Accessories is the largest class, with sixteen, covering personal bags such as handbags and shoulder bags, rucksacks, backpacks and holdalls, briefcases, luggage, suitcases and garment carriers, shopping trolley bags, disposable carrier bags, wallets, purses and travel document holders, toiletry bags and vanity cases, portable food boxes and lunch bags, key rings, personal umbrellas, hand and impeller personal fans, and accessories for luggage. Watches has three: watches themselves, accessories and replacement parts such as straps, bezels and watch tools, and an other brick. Personal Accessories Variety Packs holds assortments that span different classes of the family.[^gpc] | |
| 20 | + | ||
| 21 | + | Thirty-three bricks sit beneath those classes, and an individual product is filed at brick level. The descriptive text sits at brick level too: every one of the thirty-three carries both a definition and a list of exclusions, while this segment, its family and all four of its classes carry none. None is therefore reproduced here, and the description above is drawn from the titles and brick definitions below the node. Three boundaries are worth knowing before filing a product here, because the bricks state them explicitly. The watches brick covers digital and mechanical timepieces but excludes smart watches, along with clocks, timers and stopwatches, and it names no destination for them. Cosmetics bags and cosmetics storage boxes do not belong with toiletry bags and vanity cases; the scheme classifies those within Cosmetic Aids/Accessories in the Beauty/Personal Care/Hygiene segment. And the two personal fan bricks, for hand fans and for held or worn impeller fans, exclude camping accessories and other portable fans, which the scheme places with Air Conditioning/Cooling/Ventilation Equipment and household appliances.[^gpc] | |
