# Creating Materials

The material allows you to define the composition of the item, especially apparel items. By doing so, you can classify the items and enhance customer understanding of product specifics.

Creating a material involves defining the name of the item material. Once the material is created, you can define the material in the item details.

{% hint style="info" %}
To create a material, go to *Menu > Admin > Material*
{% endhint %}

In the Material Details, enter the "Name" of the material and click "Save" to create the material.
