Subcollections new

The multi-level system of the parent-children collections is the most desired option in shopify. So far, there is no such option at the shopify platform level. But our theme supports a two-level system of parent-children collections. It is picked up by all important widgets: megamenu, breadcrumbs, sections with categories and subcategories.
