Parade is a storefront theme for multi-brand fashion retailers, department stores and fashion marketplaces with women, men, kids, shoes and accessories, on CS-Cart and Multi-Vendor.
Four styles change more than the accent: Ivory (warm ivory and ink), Blush (rose and burgundy), Denim (cream and indigo) and Noir (black and champagne).
Four styles, one theme
Each style changes the ground, bands, type weight and card treatment, not only the accent colour. Open any of them in the live demo.
Department tabs and a department bar with mega panels
Sizes on every card, sold-out sizes struck through
Colour dots that switch the card image
Quick add with a size picker, no page change
Shop by size chips that open the filtered category
Countdowns only for real promotion end dates
Text contrast of at least 4.5:1 in every style
Twelve settings, finished look out of the box
How it works
Install the package in Add-ons: it adds the Parade theme without touching your storefront. Activate Parade in Website, Themes and pick a style. The next admin page adds the demo catalogue, so every homepage section is filled at once; replace it step by step.
Departments are your top-level categories. Sizes come from the Size option and the Size feature, colours from the Colour option. Edit campaigns and tiles in the Block Manager.

Does Parade work with my add-ons?
Yes. Parade is a child of the standard Responsive theme and does not override product, cart or checkout templates, so add-on hooks keep working. Kavio Labs add-ons are styled to match each style.
Does it work on CS-Cart and on Multi-Vendor?
Yes, one package for both. On Multi-Vendor the cards show the shop next to the brand and vendor pages get a brand-shop header.
Why is a size struck through on a card?
The size is not in stock. With Size options, give the product a Size feature with the sizes you have in stock (the same feature drives your size filter); sizes missing from it are shown as sold out. Products with variations use the stock of each variation. Products without a Size feature show every size as available.
Where do the department tabs come from?
From the Department tabs categories block: your top-level categories in their category order (or the categories you pick in the block). The Sale tab is added automatically.
Why does a product show no countdown?
Countdowns only appear for catalog promotions with an end date. Parade never shows invented timers.
Why does "Shop by size" show nothing?
It needs a product filter for your size feature (code SIZE, or a feature named "Size") and products with sizes in that department.
What happens without a licence?
A new installation works for 14 days. After that, without a valid licence, the storefront shows the standard Responsive look; cart, checkout and orders keep working and visitors see no message. The admin panel tells you why and how to fix it. See Configuration.
Does the theme work on my staging copy?
Yes. Subdomains of your licensed domain and local development hosts are covered by the same licence.
What happens if your licence server is down?
Nothing visible: the theme keeps the last verified result and keeps working for 14 days while it retries.
Will an update overwrite my changes?
No. Files you changed are kept (a notice lists them), and layouts and blocks are never replaced.
A Swiss-editorial storefront theme with a shop-window homepage, oversized type and four bold styles, built on Responsive so every add-on keeps working.
A department-store theme for large catalogues: colour-coded departments, a department list beside the hero, tabbed product blocks and a sticky buy box.
