The latest installment of eBay's "From the
Collection" series gives shoppers a rare glimpse into the closet of
a fashion icon
SAN
JOSE, Calif., Dec. 5, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- eBay announces the latest in its series of
exclusive drops from the closets of fashion and entertainment's
most influential figures with 'From The Collection: Margherita
Maccapani Missoni.' The collection features exclusive pre-owned,
vintage and archival pieces curated by the fashion tastemaker,
available for auction now through December
12 at ebay.com/margherita-maccapani-missoni.
'From The Collection: Margherita Maccapani Missoni' builds on
Margherita's deep passion for discovering pre-loved and vintage
pieces on eBay. Shopping on the eBay marketplace since her teenage
years, Margherita used her discoveries to furnish her first flat in
New York City and to inspire her
fashion design process. The designer and tastemaker launched
"MaccaFinds" powered by eBay in September
2024 – a curated series of limited-time drops featuring
eBay-sourced accessories, including pieces styled in her Maccapani
collections.
Included in the 35-item collection are several M Missoni pieces
designed during Margherita's tenure as creative director of the
brand, as well as a '90s Ralph
Lauren sweater given to her by her mother, Chatelles
slippers with changeable heart decals, a Missoni resin bracelet
paying homage to the chevron design of the knitwear the label is
known for and rare Fornasetti Italian ceramics and art pieces.
Bidding will start at $20.02 – a nod
to the year that Margherita first began shopping on eBay.
"As a curator by nature and forever a pre-loved enthusiast, I'm
always on the hunt for pieces that inspire my creative process, and
eBay has always been the destination for me to unearth treasures,"
said Margherita Maccapani Missoni. "This collection is really a
personal story for me, with each item reflecting moments from my
career, my family and my travels."
All proceeds from "From the Collection: Margherita Maccapani
Missoni" will benefit OAfrica, a nonprofit organization for which
Margherita serves as an international ambassador. The organization
develops programs and projects to help vulnerable children and
their families in Ghana,
West Africa.
A third-generation designer and creative entrepreneur,
Margherita is celebrated for her eclectic style and sharp design
sense. In 2023, she launched Maccapani, an Italian ready-to-wear
brand recognized for its daring designs. A vintage devotee,
Margherita has incorporated pre-loved accessories from eBay into
her brand's collections since its beginning.
