Pick Cali if…
Art, home decor, independent fashion and beauty — brands with strong art direction and original photos.
Watch out for: The deconstructed layout relies on great imagery; with supplier photos it loses its impact.

Stores that already run it and prioritize speed. For new stores, Ipanema is the closest alternative.
Watch out for: No FTP/custom code, blog, multi-language/currency, subscriptions, or restricting purchases to registered customers.
