@KeegansCreation made us aware of this interesting new filter in the Marketplace.
To access it, click on "add filter" from any category/results page in the MP and choose "Design Style" from the drop-down.
There's good discussion about the filter over here that I'll be adding to tomorrow, but I'm dropping the data sheet I made for it here in this more appropriate forum tonight.
I was intrigued by the filter and started making notes on some of the categories and their sub and even sub-sub categories and that turned into a thorough spreadsheet that lays out all of them so you can see all the drill-down choices (as of this date) without endless clicking. But what's super useful is that each of the filter categories at each level ("classes" as I called them so as not to confuse them with product categories) has its own 18 digit ID number and you can include that number as a URL parameter to go directly to results in that class and I've included all those on the sheet.
For example, here's the Vintage & Traditional --> Retro --> Vintage Christmas class applied to invitations and to pillows.
This makes it so easy to explore the filters as you can just paste in the class # for whatever you want to check out instead of having to click "add filter" and then drill down through all the options. You can use this to poke around to try to see what class one of your own products might fall into, and you can use it in shared links if you want to direct people to a certain design style.
Some of the sub-classes changed just over the 3 nights I was compiling this info so it's clearly a new work-in-progress by Z so I fully expect to see ongoing changes to the classes but this sheet is a good start and will be easy to edit to keep up.
Here's the link to the spreadsheet (FREE):

Once you start exploring the filter you'll see what I mean about how much clicking is involved to drill-down and then go back up to a different choice so it'll make more sense how the ID #'s are so useful.

A point of interest I found: the same sub category under different categories will give different results. For instance abstract>mandala gives different results than boho/bohemian>mandala. But both are sets of mandalas, just different ones.
I hope the customers are using this.

Fabulous contribution as always @ColsCreations
I made a list of all their filters myself (see here) so we can use them as tags and possible ideas for new products, but based on your data this may have changed.
The list can be seen via my blog. I couldn't copy and paste here as it exceeded the number of characters allowed.
