SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA, November 10, 2026 — eBay’s latest Watchlist Trend Report ebay.com/thewatchlist reveals how creative director changes at Chanel, Dior, and Gucci are bringing renewed attention to the designers and collections that defined previous eras. As searches rise for Matthieu Blazy (+291%), Jonathan Anderson (+92%) and Demna (+42%), eBay data shows parallel momentum for the archives: listings for Karl Lagerfeld-era Chanel climbed 87%, average sale prices for John Galliano-era Dior increased 81%, and listings for Tom Ford-era Gucci rose 49% year over year.
The influence of the runway extends beyond creative director debuts. Following Prada’s Spring 2027 show, searches for “Prada skirt” surged 360% on eBay compared to the beginning of the month. Meanwhile, as Loewe and Bottega Veneta revisit their archives, global listings for the Amazona 180 and Veneta bags climbed 440% and 158%, respectively.
eBay Resident Stylist Brie Welch, who regularly sources fashion from eBay for both her personal wardrobe and her celebrity clients Uma Thurman and Katie Holmes, shares her perspective on the season’s key trends and how to translate runway inspiration into everyday style. Her curated storefront offers shoppers a way to discover and shop her favorite finds at ebay.com/inf/briewelchstorefront.
“This season’s Watchlist reads like a style diary of everyone shopping on eBay: the eras they’re revisiting, the pieces they’re investing in, and the moments in culture they can’t stop thinking about,” said Brie Welch, “What’s moving on eBay right now tells a story, from archival influences to special finds that are perfect holiday gifts and watches meant for a special night out. I wanted to show how to bring those themes into everyday style, whether that’s one standout piece or a whole look.”
This holiday season, eBay Live will turn Watchlist insights into shoppable experiences, with special streams featuring sellers including Vookum, Reserved Luxury and Bolt Luxury. Shoppers can discover rare and coveted luxury gifts inspired by the trends impacting resale demand starting November 15th at ebay.com/ebaylive.
