Today, eBay releases its fall edition of eBay Watchlist, revealing the season’s most sought-after fashion trends backed by shopper data. Annotated by eBay Resident Stylist Brie Welch, the report makes it easy for shoppers to discover and shop eBay’s vast selection of on-trend and covetable pre-loved branded fashion — including access to Welch's new, personally curated eBay storefront.
The eBay Watchlist is powered by real-time marketplace insights drawn from the shopping behavior of eBay’s 134 million users and 2.4 billion listings, alongside Welch’s personal commentary and expert perspective. Highlighting everything from fall’s most coveted slouchy totes to in-demand shearling coats and statement timepieces, the report is a barometer of style and culture — capturing what’s now and next, and offering fresh closet inspiration for every fashion enthusiast.
This season, shoppers are after luxurious textures, bold shapes, and prints that make an outfit unforgettable — from lace capris (global eBay searches up 1,286% year-over-year1), to embellished chain handbags (up 445%), and oversized brooches (up 52%). Louis Vuitton remains the most-bought luxury brand on eBay globally, while demand for Chanel and Dior is on the rise, fueled by fresh creative direction and renewed brand momentum.
“The beauty of eBay is that you can find a '90s-era treasure and the latest must-have, all in one place,” said Brie Welch. “With the new eBay Watchlist, I’ve pulled together some of the top trends I’m seeing out in the world right now, curating a selection on eBay that beautifully shows off this season’s textures and shapes — and makes it easier than ever to embrace pre-loved style.”
