Help Choosing a Category

[aLaymanStudios]

I've had a bit of an issue choosing a Category for this listing:
https://www.etsy.com/listing/176164718/handcrafted-leather-pocket-watch-cases?ref=shop_home_feat_3

I've currently have it under "Accessories > Costume Accessories" but I get many request from people that have inherited pocket watches and rail road workers that wish to have a case built for them. So having it under Costume Accessories doesn't exactly seem right.

Are categories really that important? Or are they mostly use for people browsing, or filtering their searches?

I think if you mention all the possible names people might be looking for the pouches on the title and description, the search will do the work for you. Remember the categories are for people whom are just browsing... if they are looking they will be using the search engine. Make sure you use the tags too!

I think that listing would fit nicely under 'Bags and Purses" then the subcategory 'Pouches and Coin Purses'. They are beautiful and unique, you are doing a great job!

I do agree with Aracely that your tags are going to be driving most of your traffic. Good Luck!

I agree with Kate, bags and purses is where I would look for something like that.
