merci dure


Explanation:
Il contesto mi ricorda la suddivisione in reparti di un grande magazzino. In gergo le merci dure indicano tutto ciò che all'interno
di un department store non è tessile, esempio il reparto casalinghi. Non ci sono molte ricorrenze in rete però quelle che ci sono sia in inglese sia in italiano portano verso questa direzione. Più che altro mi sembra la definizione corretta se accostata a clothing, accessories, leisure, etc.
