Textiles / Clothing / Fashion
English term or phrase: Softlines
The above is a tab name and comes on its own.
In context: "Our labs offer over tests in a number of categories, including softlines, hardlines, eyewear, promotional items, textiles, apparel, toys and children's products, and more."

Examples: garment & apparel, textiles & fabrics, footwear
As opposed to hardlines (cosmetics, electrical & electronics items, eyewear, jewelry, toys, etc.)

softlines = tous les produits souples; hardlines = tous les produits durs
Vu la proposition de Termium qui me semble très approximative, "produit non durable" faisant référence à une toute autre qualité du produit.

Merci.

Explanation:
Why not? Souples vs. Rigides

http://smallbusiness.chron.com/retail-hardlines-softlines-76...

What's Considered Soft
In addition to clothing, bedding, linens, pillows and towels, soft goods include other personal items, such as footwear, belts, hats, gloves and scarves. Unlike hard goods, soft goods give a retailer more options for displaying items because of their flexibility.

Souples vs. Rigides for the other category.

softlines
produits textiles


Explanation:
Je ne trouve aucune instance de biens "souples" (et pourquoi pas mous, pendant qu'on y est?!) ou "rigides". En passant, les chaussures (footwear) sont normalement vendues en boîte, donc du coup quand elles sont en boîte, elles passent aux produits dits "rigides" ou quoi?

J'opposerais "produits/biens/marchandises textiles" à "produits/biens/marchandises non textiles" ou "biens rigides".

Bon courage :-)

biens de consommation


Explanation:
Explication :
... par opposition aux biens durables/biens d'équipement.

Un bien de consommation est un bien qui est consommé totalement ou partiellement lors de son usage (aliment, lessive,..) par le consommateur final.
On parle également de biens de consommation courante pour les biens de consommation achetés fréquemment.

Un bien durable est un bien qui n’est pas détruit lors de son utilisation et qui connaît généralement une usure sur le long terme.
Les biens durables sont généralement des biens d’équipement du foyer, de la personne, mais également des biens tels que des voitures.

On distingue généralement les biens de consommation des biens d’équipement, qui eux même peuvent être divisés en biens d’équipement des entreprises et biens d’équipement des ménages ou biens durables.
