THE BUYING ANSWER
Start with a clear definition.
Give each colourway a stable code and connect it to all component references. A descriptive name such as rose can remain buyer-facing, while the code distinguishes the actual approved combination of outer fabric, lining and trims.
The decision behind the detail.
Two styles using the same marketing colour may have different component combinations. Keep a product-specific mapping rather than relying on the name alone.
PREPARE ONLY WHAT IS RELEVANT
Three details to bring.
- Colourway code
- Assign a stable identifier for the combination.
- Component mapping
- List the fabric and trim references in that colourway.
- Public name
- Record the name used on labels or product listings.
Check together
- Check codes match the quantity matrix.
- Resolve duplicate names for different combinations.
- Update the mapping after component changes.
