Breeze and Argento theme design: fast storefronts without a rebuild
Breeze keeps Magento’s Luma structure but swaps the heavy JavaScript for a lighter one, so most existing extensions keep working while pages get faster.

- Most Luma extensions keep working
- This website runs on Breeze
Breeze and Argento theme design gives a Magento store a faster, modern frontend without rebuilding it. Swissup’s Breeze replaces much of Luma’s JavaScript with a lighter layer, and its Argento themes give a design base that we brand for you.
