In Brazil, especially in São Paulo's fashion district (SAARA and Bom Retiro), 'standard collection' or 'coleção padrão' is widely used in the textile and fashion industries to distinguish regular product lines from limited editions. In the US, this term is particularly prevalent in museum contexts and retail fashion.
