To implement this case I suggest to rebuild that article description 
system which is used here:

No. LV2317-012 Levis 501 blue 32/32
LV2317 ... short name of the article
012    ... variation number
Levis 501 blue 32/32 ... descriptive text for the variation number 012
Levis 501 ... name of product
blue ... color
32 ... size1
32 ... size2

So for each product in the tt_products a corresponding entry in a 
variation table is needed. Each article type will need its own article 
description table.

To understand this right we need the advice of the owner of a shop which 
uses this kind of article description.
