Traditional Clothing Accessories
The Google product category ID for Traditional Clothing Accessories is 5390. It sits under Clothing Accessories and has 4 subcategories of its own, so it is a predefined value you can send as it stands — but one of those 4 is usually the closer answer, and an interior category fits when a product genuinely spans the ones below.

Where this sits in the taxonomy
Measured by how much sits beneath them, Traditional Clothing Accessories is second largest of the 31 categories under Clothing Accessories, with 4 categories below it.

Traditional Clothing AccessoriesKimono Underclothes
The longest route down from here runs 1 more level, ending at Kimono Underclothes (5688) on level 4: Traditional Clothing Accessories › Kimono Underclothes. Most branches stop sooner than that — the figure to compare it against is the seven levels Google's taxonomy allows, not the depth of the branch next door.

Using this value
Either form of this value goes in the google_product_category attribute: the numeric ID (5390) or the full path ("Apparel & Accessories > Clothing Accessories > Traditional Clothing Accessories"). Both are predefined values for the same category. The ID is the sturdier of the two, because renaming any segment above this one changes the path text and leaves the number alone. Before sending it, check whether one of the 4 subcategories below fits — a narrower category groups the product with fewer, closer things.
Bear in mind that google_product_category is an optional attribute. Google assigns a category automatically, and your value is treated as a signal rather than an override. When an override actually applies.
In your feed, it looks like this
Either row below is accepted. The first is the one to send.

| SKU-1001 | Your product title | Apparel & Accessories > Clothing Accessories > Traditional Clothing Accessories |
This path has no comma, so an unquoted cell holds it as it stands — which is not true of every category in the taxonomy. The numeric ID, 5390, is the form that does not depend on how the file is quoted.
What sits under Traditional Clothing Accessories
4 subcategories. A narrower category groups the product with fewer, closer things, so prefer one of these when it fits.
All 4 of them are leaves: none of the subcategories under Traditional Clothing Accessories continues any further, so one of those 4 names is the most specific value this branch can give you.
Questions about Traditional Clothing Accessories
What is the Google product category ID for Traditional Clothing Accessories?
5390. The full path, "Apparel & Accessories > Clothing Accessories > Traditional Clothing Accessories", is the same category written the other way. The ID is shorter, and renaming a segment above this one changes the path text while leaving the number alone.
Should I use Traditional Clothing Accessories or one of its subcategories?
Prefer a subcategory when one fits: Traditional Clothing Accessories has 4 directly below it, starting with Kimono Underclothes (5688), Obi Accessories (5686), Obis (5687), and 4 in total further down. 5390 is itself a predefined value, so an interior category is not an error — it just groups the product more broadly than a subcategory would.
Where does Traditional Clothing Accessories sit in the taxonomy?
At level 3, under Clothing Accessories (167). The chain from the top is Apparel & Accessories → Clothing Accessories → Traditional Clothing Accessories. If your product does not belong under Clothing Accessories, it does not belong here either — check the level above before going deeper.
What should I use if Traditional Clothing Accessories is not quite right?
Look across the rest of Clothing Accessories first — there are 30 other categories at this level: Arm Warmers & Sleeves (5942), Baby & Toddler Clothing Accessories (5422), Balaclavas (1786), Bandanas & Headties (168), Belt Buckles (3913), Belts (169), and 24 more. If none of them fits either, the problem is higher up: go back to Clothing Accessories (167) and pick a different branch from there rather than settling for the closest thing on this one.
How much more specific can I get than Traditional Clothing Accessories?
1 level more. The longest route down from Traditional Clothing Accessories is Traditional Clothing Accessories > Kimono Underclothes, ending at Kimono Underclothes (5688) on level 4. Not every branch below Traditional Clothing Accessories runs that far, so the category that fits your product may stop earlier than this one does.
How big is Traditional Clothing Accessories compared with the categories next to it?
It is second largest of the 31 at its level, carrying 4 categories below it. A bigger category is not a better one — it just means more of the taxonomy is still open below you after you pick it.
