By Rebecca Cox

LFW style, the eBay way


It’s approaching that time of year where the capital is taken over by the world’s fashion elite. This season, it’s all about pre-loved style. eBay is Country & Town House’s pre-loved partner for 2024, and with their validation service they are now the most trusted source of luxury pre-loved authentic items to give your wardrobe and eco-conscious refresh. Look out for the eBay ‘authenticity guarantee’ mark on relevant listings when sorting your London Fashion Week wardrobe.


The Statement Designer Bag

The hard-working fashion editorial who traipse from show to show for five days straight won’t have time for show-boating, you’ll find them in chic but sleek black with practical totes that will fit a laptop (and a goody bag or two). But the front row posé will want to stand out from the crowd. Opt for one of this season’s hottest retro comeback bags, bypassing the re-releases and going straight for the original on eBay.

A Hint Of Bling

If the fashion crowd largely sticks to a monochrome palette for show season, they still want to make their mark with punchy accessories. Since you’ll find the majority of the crowd’s faces hidden behind phones capturing content, expect well-manicured hands and statement cocktail rings a-plenty. Vintage jewels on eBay are now available with an authenticity guarantee.
