It can be some new themes, some lively and fun themes or even some hit themes which people like most in a period. I suggest if you have the diverse collections, you should use Collection to find the best. It can be really impressed.

Totally different from Collection, themes sorted by Industries are specialized in topics such as Art & Photography, Clothing & Fashion,… This kind of search is useful for shop owner whose collection just belongs to one of all these topics such as I just sell shoes and clothes. So, my store belongs to Clothing and Fashion group. I don’t have to waste time searching every concept to find the most suitable one.
