How SDBT Organises Products Across Different Themes and Fandoms

How SDBT Organises Products Across Different Themes and Fandoms

SDBT brings together a wide range of products inspired by different themes, interests, and popular cultures. Our collection includes medieval and historical items, Viking-inspired products, fantasy pieces, anime favourites, movie and TV collectibles, video game items, gaming accessories, and more. With such a varied product range, finding the right item should be simple and convenient. That is why SDBT organises products into clear main categories and useful subcategories. 

Each category brings together similar products, helping customers browse based on their interests. Whether you are looking for Viking swords, medieval armour, anime-inspired collectibles, movie replicas, or gaming items, our organised product structure makes it easier to explore the range and discover products that match your collection, interests, or theme. 

How SDBT's Product Categories Work

SDBT has a wide range of products inspired by history, fantasy, movies, TV shows, anime, video games, Vikings, medieval culture and tabletop gaming. To make shopping easier, we organise products into clear main categories and smaller subcategories.

This structure helps customers find products based on what they are interested in, the type of item they are looking for, or the theme or fandom they enjoy.

Main Categories

The main menu gives customers a simple way to explore the different parts of the SDBT collection. Each main category covers a particular type of product or interest. Our main categories include Armour & Chainmail, Vikings, LARP & Wizarding, Swords & Blades, Jewellery & Accessories, Home & Collectables Decor, Tabletop & Gaming, and Action Figures & Collectibles.

For example, customers looking for medieval armour can start with Armour & Chainmail, while someone interested in Viking-inspired products can visit the Vikings section. Customers looking for gaming products can go directly to Tabletop & Gaming.

Subcategories

Subcategories make it easier to find a specific type of product within a main category.

For example, the Armour & Chainmail section includes Shields, Helmets, Maces, Chainmail Shirts, Chainmail Coifs and Medieval Greaves.The Vikings section includes Axes, Swords, Helmets, Bracelets, Rings, Earrings, Drinking Horns and other Viking-inspired accessories. This allows customers to move from a broad category to a more specific product type without having to search through the entire store.

Themes, Fandoms and Product Types

SDBT products can be organised in different ways depending on what the product represents and what customers are looking for.

Product type means what the item is. Examples include swords, helmets, rings, shields, dice, miniatures and other accessories.

Theme describes the style or inspiration behind a product. Examples include Viking, medieval, Gothic and fantasy themes.

Fandom refers to products connected with a particular fictional world or entertainment series, such as anime, movies, TV shows and video games.

For example, a customer looking for a sword may first choose Swords & Blades and then explore Anime, Movie & TV, Video Game, or Historical & Fantasy products. This approach gives customers more than one way to discover products and makes it easier to find something that matches their interests.

Armour & Chainmail

The Armour & Chainmail category brings together a selection of medieval-style armour and related products for collectors, enthusiasts, themed displays, and historical or fantasy-inspired collections. To make browsing easier, SDBT divides this category into smaller sections based on the type of product. Customers can explore shields, helmets, maces, chainmail shirts, chainmail coifs, and medieval greaves or leg armour according to their specific interests.

Shields

Our Shields section brings together different shield designs inspired by medieval and historical styles. Customers can browse this section when looking for a shield to complement a themed collection or display.

Helmets

The Helmets section features medieval-style and historically inspired helmet designs. It allows customers to easily explore different styles without searching through the entire armour category.

Maces

The Maces section focuses on medieval-style mace designs. Customers interested in adding traditional-looking pieces to their collection can browse this category directly.

Chainmail Shirts

Chainmail Shirts are grouped together for customers specifically looking for this type of medieval-inspired armour. This makes it easier to compare different designs and find a suitable option.

Chainmail Coifs

The Chainmail Coifs section contains products designed around the traditional coif style. Customers can browse this category separately when looking for chainmail head and neck protection designs.

Medieval Greaves and Leg Armor

The Medieval Greaves and Leg Armor section focuses on armour designed for the legs. Separating these products into their own section helps customers quickly find leg armour without browsing through other types of medieval equipment.

Overall, this structure makes the Armour & Chainmail category easier to navigate by allowing customers to browse directly by the specific type of product they are looking for.

Vikings

The Vikings section brings together products inspired by Viking history, culture and style. It is not limited to weapons. Customers can find Viking-inspired swords and axes as well as helmets, jewellery, drinking accessories and hair accessories.

By placing these different products under one Viking theme, SDBT makes it easier for customers who are interested in Viking-inspired products to explore the full collection in one place.

Viking Axes

Viking axes are an important part of the Viking collection. Customers looking for an axe can go directly to the Viking Axes section instead of searching through the entire store.

Viking Swords

The Viking Swords section brings together swords with Viking-inspired designs. This makes it easier for customers who are specifically interested in Viking swords to find related products.

Viking Helmets

Viking helmets are grouped under the Vikings section for customers looking for Viking-inspired headwear and historical-style designs.

Viking Bracelets and Rings

The Viking collection also includes jewellery such as viking bracelets and rings. These products allow customers to explore Viking-inspired accessories alongside the larger Viking collection.

Viking Earrings

Viking-inspired viking earrings are another part of the jewellery range. They are organised within the Viking theme so customers interested in Viking-style accessories can find them more easily.

Drinking Horns and Stands

Drinking horns and stands add another type of product to the Viking collection. Unlike swords and axes, these items are not weapons. They are included because of their connection with Viking-inspired historical and fantasy settings.

Viking Hair Beads and Accessories

Viking hair beads and other hair accessories give customers another way to explore the Viking theme. These products focus on personal style rather than weapons or armour.

Viking Bead Bracelets

Viking bead bracelets combine jewellery with Viking-inspired design. They are grouped with the wider Viking collection to help customers find related accessories in one place.

Wooden Hair Sticks

Wooden hair sticks are another example of how the Viking section includes different types of accessories. They fit within the wider Viking-inspired style while being different from products such as swords, axes and helmets.

Organising Products Around a Theme

The Viking section shows how SDBT can organise products around a shared theme, rather than only around the type of product.

For example, a Viking sword and a Viking bracelet are very different products, but both can appeal to customers interested in Viking-inspired designs. By bringing them together under the Vikings category, SDBT gives customers an easier way to explore products connected by the same theme.

This approach can also be used across other SDBT collections, such as medieval, fantasy, Gothic, anime, movie, TV and video-game-inspired products.

LARP & Wizarding

The LARP & Wizarding section brings together products inspired by medieval clothing, fantasy characters, role-playing and wizarding themes. This collection is useful for customers looking for costume pieces, accessories and fantasy-style items for events, role-playing or personal collections.

Instead of placing every product into a separate main category, SDBT groups related items together so customers can easily explore different parts of the medieval and fantasy style.

Medieval Clothing and Costume Pieces

The medieval clothing and costume range includes different pieces that can be combined to create a medieval or fantasy-inspired look. Customers can explore clothing and accessories based on the style they are looking for.

Medieval Cloaks

Medieval cloaks are grouped within the LARP & Wizarding collection for customers looking for a traditional medieval or fantasy-inspired outer layer.

Medieval Gambesons

Medieval gambesons are another part of the collection. They are associated with medieval-style clothing and armour and can be useful for customers creating a historical or fantasy-inspired outfit.

Medieval Bracers

Medieval bracers provide another costume and outfit accessory within the collection. They can be explored alongside other medieval clothing and accessories.

Medieval Gauntlets

Medieval gauntlets are included for customers interested in medieval-style hand and arm pieces. They complement other items in the medieval collection.

Medieval Crowns, Circlets and Masks

Crowns, circlets and masks add a fantasy and character-focused element to the collection. These products can help customers create different medieval, fantasy or role-playing looks.

Medieval Cloak Clasp Brooches

Cloak clasp brooches are smaller accessories that can be used with medieval-style cloaks and outfits. Keeping them within the same collection makes it easier to find matching accessories.

Medieval Satchel Pouches

Medieval satchel pouches provide a practical accessory for medieval and fantasy-inspired outfits. They are grouped with other LARP and medieval products so customers can explore related costume pieces together.

Wizarding Products

The wizarding section focuses on fantasy-inspired items associated with magical and wizard-style characters. These products are organised separately within the broader LARP & Wizarding category.

Replica Wands

Replica wands are designed for customers interested in wizarding and fantasy themes. They provide another way to explore the character and costume side of the collection.

Witch Hats

Witch hats add another recognisable piece to the wizarding and fantasy collection. Customers can browse them alongside other costume and character accessories.

Wizard Robes

Wizard robes are another key part of the wizarding collection. They can be explored together with wands, hats and other fantasy-inspired accessories.

Organising Medieval and Wizarding Products Together

The LARP & Wizarding section shows another way SDBT organises its products. Instead of focusing on one specific fandom, this collection brings together products that share a medieval, fantasy, role-playing or wizarding theme.

For example, a cloak, bracer, satchel pouch and wizard robe are different types of products, but they can all be useful to customers interested in medieval or fantasy-inspired outfits. Grouping them together makes it easier for customers to explore related products and build their own look or collection.

Jewellery & Accessories

The Jewellery & Accessories section brings together smaller products that customers can wear, carry, collect or use as themed gifts. Unlike the Swords & Blades section, these products are not mainly organised around one type of fandom.

Instead, SDBT groups them by their style, theme, cultural inspiration and purpose. This makes it easier for customers to find accessories that match their interests.

Celtic-Inspired Jewellery

The Celtic-inspired jewellery group includes designs influenced by Celtic and medieval styles.

  • Celtic Knot Pendants offer a classic design inspired by traditional Celtic patterns.

  • Celtic and Medieval Rings bring together ring designs with Celtic or medieval influences.

Grouping these products together helps customers who are specifically looking for Celtic or medieval-style jewellery.

Historical & Cultural Designs

Some SDBT accessories are inspired by historical cultures and symbols.

  • Greek Necklaces feature designs connected with Greek-inspired styles.

  • Egyptian Ankh Necklaces are based around the well-known ankh symbol and Egyptian-inspired designs.

These products are grouped by their cultural or historical inspiration rather than by a particular fictional fandom.

Gothic & Fantasy Accessories

SDBT also includes accessories with darker, Gothic and fantasy-inspired designs.

  • Gothic Skull Rings provide a Gothic-inspired jewellery option.

  • Fantasy Dragon Keychains bring a fantasy theme into the accessory collection.

This gives customers an easy way to browse products based on a particular visual style or fantasy theme.

Medieval & Viking Accessories

Some accessories connect directly with themes already found in other SDBT collections.

  • Medieval Sword Keychains combine a medieval theme with a small everyday accessory.

  • Viking Axe Keychains bring Viking-inspired designs into the accessories collection.

  • Medieval Castle Magnets offer a medieval-inspired decorative item.

  • Dragon Fridge Magnets add a fantasy theme to the collection.

These products show that a theme does not have to be limited to one type of product. A Viking design, for example, can appear on a keychain just as it can appear on a sword or piece of jewellery.

Organising Jewellery and Accessories by Theme

The Jewellery & Accessories section shows how SDBT can organise smaller products around their design and inspiration. A customer may be interested in Celtic designs, Gothic styles, Viking themes, medieval designs or fantasy characters without looking for a specific type of large collectible. By grouping related products together, SDBT makes it easier for customers to discover accessories that match their personal interests and explore different products within the same theme.

Home & Collectables Decor

The Home & Collectables Decor section brings together products that customers may want to display, use around the home or add to a personal collection. These products are organised around medieval, Viking, Gothic and fantasy-inspired styles.

This gives customers another way to explore SDBT products based on how they want to use them, rather than only looking for a particular fandom or product type.

Medieval and Viking Drinkware

This group includes drinkware with medieval and Viking-inspired designs.

  • Medieval Pewter Tankards offer a traditional medieval-inspired style.

  • Viking Goblets bring Viking-inspired design into the drinkware collection.

Grouping these products together makes it easier for customers looking for historical or themed drinkware to find related items.

Medieval & Fantasy Display Items

Some products are designed to add a medieval or fa ntasy feel to a home, office or collection.Letter openers and Medieval & Fantasy Bookends can be useful display or desk accessories while also adding a themed style to a space.These products show how SDBT includes smaller decorative items alongside larger collectibles.

Gothic & Fantasy Home Decor

This group brings together home décor with Gothic, fantasy and darker-inspired designs.

It includes:

  • Gothic Candle Holders

  • Skull Ornaments

  • Dragon Door Knockers

  • Gothic Wall Hook Racks

These products allow customers to bring their preferred themes into their home décor and display spaces.

Tabletop & Gaming

The Tabletop & Gaming section is organised around products used for tabletop role-playing games and fantasy gaming. It brings together different accessories that can support different parts of a gaming session.

Instead of separating these products into unrelated categories, SDBT keeps them together so players can explore several types of tabletop gaming products in one place.

RPG & D&D Miniatures

RPG and D&D miniatures can represent characters, creatures and other elements during tabletop games. This category helps players find miniature products for their gaming setup or collection.

D&D Dice Sets

Dice are an important part of many tabletop role-playing games. The D&D Dice Sets section allows players to find dice specifically suited to their gaming needs.

Wooden Dice Towers

Wooden dice towers provide a simple way to roll and display dice during tabletop games. They can also add a traditional or fantasy-inspired look to a gaming table.

RPG Battle Mats

RPG battle mats help players create a clear playing area during games. They can be used to plan movement, battles and different scenes during a tabletop session.

D&D Terrain Pieces

Terrain pieces can help create a more detailed gaming environment. Players can use them to build different scenes and settings for their tabletop games.

Organising Products for Different Parts of a Game

The Tabletop & Gaming section shows how SDBT can organise products according to their use and purpose.

For example, miniatures can represent characters, dice are used for game actions, battle mats provide a playing surface, and terrain pieces help create the game environment.

This makes it easier for tabletop players to find products that match the way they play.

Action Figures & Collectibles

The Action Figures & Collectibles section is designed for customers who enjoy collecting and displaying character-based products.

This category can remain flexible as SDBT adds more products in the future. New types of collectibles can be added without changing the overall purpose of the section.

Action Figures

Action figures give collectors a way to display characters and designs they enjoy. They can be collected individually or as part of a larger themed collection.

Collectible Items

This group can include other collectible products that do not fit neatly into the main product categories. Keeping this section flexible allows SDBT to expand its range as new collectible products are added.

How SDBT Organises Products by Theme

SDBT does not organise products only by what the item is. Some products are grouped according to a shared theme or style.

This means that products from different categories can still be connected because they have a similar historical, cultural or fantasy inspiration.

Medieval Themes

Medieval-inspired products can appear across several SDBT categories. Customers interested in medieval designs may find related products in:

  • Armour & Chainmail

  • Swords & Blades

  • LARP & Wizarding

  • Jewellery & Accessories

  • Home & Collectables Decor

For example, a medieval helmet, sword, cloak, ring and bookend are very different products. However, they can all appeal to someone interested in medieval-inspired designs.

This allows customers to explore the same theme across different types of products.

Viking Themes

The Viking theme also appears across different product types.

Customers interested in Viking-inspired products can find:

  • Weapons such as axes and swords

  • Viking helmets

  • Jewellery such as bracelets, rings and earrings

  • Drinking horns and other drinkware

  • Hair beads and hair accessories

This shows how SDBT can bring different product types together through a shared Viking theme.

Fantasy Themes

Fantasy is another theme that can connect products from different parts of the SDBT collection.

Fantasy-inspired products can appear in:

  • Swords & Blades

  • LARP & Wizarding

  • Jewellery & Accessories

  • Home & Collectables Decor

  • Action Figures & Collectibles

A fantasy sword, wizard robe, dragon keychain and fantasy bookend may be completely different products, but they can all appeal to customers who enjoy fantasy themes.

Why Themes Matter

Organising products around themes gives customers more ways to explore the SDBT collection. A customer may start by looking for a specific product, such as a sword, or they may start with a theme, such as Viking, medieval or fantasy.

By using both approaches, SDBT can make it easier for customers to discover related products and explore collections that match their interests.

How SDBT Organises Products by Fandom

SDBT also organises some products around fandoms. A fandom is a fictional world, story, series or game that people enjoy and follow. This can include movies, TV shows, anime and video games.

Fandom-based collections make it easier for customers to find products connected with a particular fictional world. Instead of searching through every product in the store, customers can start with the type of fandom they are interested in and explore related products.

Movie and TV Fandoms

The Movie & TV section brings together products connected with movies and television shows. These products may include swords, replicas and other collectibles inspired by different fictional worlds.

Customers who already have a particular movie or TV show in mind can use this section to find related products more easily. It also allows customers to discover products from other movies and shows they may enjoy.

Anime Fandoms

The Anime section groups products inspired by anime series and characters. Customers can explore anime-related products without having to search through products from other themes.

This section can include different types of products, such as swords and collectibles, depending on the range available. Organising them around anime makes it easier for fans to explore products connected with the series and characters they know.

Video Game Fandoms

The Video Game section brings together products inspired by video games and their fictional worlds. Customers can use this section when they are interested in products connected with a particular game or gaming universe.

Keeping video game products together also makes it easier for customers to discover different products connected with gaming themes.

Why Fandom-Based Collections Matter

Fandom-based collections give customers another simple way to browse SDBT. A customer may begin with a product type, such as a sword, but they may also begin with a fandom they already know and enjoy.

For example, someone looking for an anime-inspired sword can start with Swords & Blades → Anime, while someone interested in a movie-inspired sword can explore Swords & Blades → Movie & TV.

This shows how SDBT's categories work together. Products can be organised by what the item is, what theme it represents, or which fictional world it is connected to.

How SDBT Organises Products by Product Type

SDBT also organises products by product type. This means customers can start their search by deciding what kind of item they want, rather than choosing a theme or fandom first.

This is useful for customers who already know what they are looking for. Whether someone wants a sword, helmet, piece of jewellery, gaming accessory or home décor item, they can use the relevant category to find similar products.

Swords and Blades

The Swords & Blades section brings together different types of swords and blade-inspired products. Customers can then explore these products based on their theme or fandom, such as Movie & TV, Anime, Video Game, or Historical & Fantasy.

This creates a simple path for customers who know they want a sword but also have a particular style or fictional world in mind.

Armour and Protective Pieces

The Armour & Chainmail section groups different types of medieval-style armour and related pieces. Customers can explore products such as shields, helmets, maces, chainmail shirts, chainmail coifs and medieval greaves.

Organising these products together makes it easier for customers looking for armour to find the specific piece they need.

Jewellery and Accessories

The Jewellery & Accessories section brings together smaller items that customers can wear, carry, use or collect.

This includes products such as pendants, rings, earrings, keychains and magnets. These items can also be organised around different styles and themes, including Celtic, medieval, Viking, Gothic and fantasy designs.

Gaming Products

The Tabletop & Gaming section is focused on products used for tabletop and role-playing games.Customers can find products such as D&D dice sets, RPG and D&D miniatures, wooden dice towers, RPG battle mats and D&D terrain pieces.Grouping these products together helps players find different items they may need for their gaming setup.

Home and Display Items

The Home & Collectables Decor section focuses on products that customers may want to use, display or add to their collection.

This includes items such as tankards, goblets, bookends, letter openers, candle holders, ornaments, door knockers and wall hooks.These products can have different themes, such as medieval, Viking, Gothic and fantasy, but they are grouped together because they share a common purpose: home use, display or collecting.This section explains the second way customers can think about the catalogue.

Why SDBT Uses Different Product Categories

SDBT uses different product categories to make browsing simple and help customers find products that match their interests.

Makes Products Easier to Find

Clear categories help customers quickly find what they are looking for, whether it is a sword, helmet, piece of jewellery, or gaming item.

Helps Customers Browse Related Products

Categories bring similar products together, making it easier to discover related items that may also be of interest.

SDBT serves different interests, including medieval history, Vikings, fantasy, movies, anime, video games, and tabletop gaming. Separate categories help customers focus on the areas they enjoy.

Makes the Catalogue Easier to Explore

A clear category structure makes the overall SDBT catalogue easier to browse. Customers can move from a broad category to a specific product without having to search through unrelated items.

Adding New Fandoms

SDBT can introduce products from new anime, movies, TV shows, video games, and other popular fandoms. New products can be placed into suitable categories and subcategories, making them easy for customers to discover.

Adding New Historical and Fantasy Themes

As the collection grows, SDBT can add more historical periods, medieval themes, Viking-inspired products, and fantasy collections. These can be organised into relevant sections without affecting the existing categories.

Expanding Product Types

SDBT can also introduce new types of products, such as additional armour, accessories, collectibles, or themed items. New product types can be added as separate subcategories when needed.

Keeping Related Products Together

Keeping similar and related products together helps customers find what they are looking for more quickly. Whether SDBT adds a new fandom, theme, or product type, the same organised structure can continue to make browsing straightforward.

This flexible structure allows SDBT to expand its product range over time without changing the basic way customers navigate and explore the store.

Conclusion:

SDBT offers a diverse range of products inspired by medieval history, Vikings, fantasy, anime, movies, TV shows, video games, tabletop gaming and more. Our organised category structure helps customers find products based on their preferred product type, theme or fandom.
