Summary
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.
See Cali theme details →Pick Simple if…
Small apparel, fashion and sports brands that want a good-looking store without configuring dozens of sections.
Watch out for: It has fewer content modules than Recife or Brasilia, so it is not ideal for very large catalogs.
