Regional Taste Differences in Basket Assortments: A Practical Buyer Map
The same catalog can travel globally, but the mix weights should not be copy-pasted.
Color temperature and light
Markets with bright coastal light often accept wash white and lighter stories more easily. Regions that favor warm interiors may lean natural and brown for longer seasons.
Test photos under local store lighting when possible; studio light lies.

Size and housing patterns
Dense urban markets may prefer compact rectangular and mid sizes. Suburban home stores often take larger living and laundry silhouettes. Gift-heavy cultures may need more oval and handled forms for fills.
Do not assume one hero size fits every door.
How to operationalize without chaos
Keep a global core of 60 to 70 percent shared heroes, then localize 30 to 40 percent with color and size weights. Too much localization destroys replenishment efficiency.
Review regional sell-through quarterly and only then change the core.
