My favorites

The 'My favorites' page enables users to create and organize multiple lists of their favorite items, typically for future purchases. When users find an item they like on the website, they can add it to one of their favorite lists. During this process, users can choose which specific list to add the item to. Users can create these lists directly on the 'Favorites' page, or if they add an item to favorites without an existing list, a new list will be automatically generated for them.

If a favorites list is empty, users can click on it to explore products and find inspiration. Additionally, Users also have the option to delete or rename their lists.
