Collection tabs, as it looks in the Vale preset.

The signature store section: giant tab words with counts (one tab per collection, optionally narrowed to a tag), filter chips made from product tags, and a bento mosaic of tiles whose second image fades in on hover. Each panel ends with a "See all" link.

Tip: "Chip tags" lists the product tags that become chips, for example oak, brass, linen.
