The organized collections observed on the application will be distinct and varied, found by automatic learning and human experts to highlight the best of Etsy, including trends like those revealed in its seasonal trend report. DAYNA ISOM Johnson, trendy expert at ETSY, told WWD that she was delighted that buyers could exploit trends more easily with the launch of the new “experienced experience”, noting that buyers are hungry.
For the second year, the Etsy’s spring / summer trend ratio is based on the latest trends that lead consumers to high quality items. This year’s publishing trends include the literary girl, the luxury island, Galactic Metallic, Châteaucore, Messy Coquette and Maritime Living. With these trends, Johnson said that buyers will be able to find trends, what is the next step and, above all, the articles that resonate personally with them.
By discussing the organized trends in this year report, Johnson said that one of the most exciting parties to work with Etsy is “to see how the trends boil on Etsy before hitting the dominant current”. It attributes the narrow connection that sellers have with their customers as well as the flexibility of moving quickly by adding that “they often take quarter or style quarters before appearing on the track or in large area stores.”
“I saw some aesthetics, the colors and the materials gaining ground on Etsy, then months later, start to present themselves through fashion and retail at home,” said Johnson. “I remember seeing checkered prints take off on Etsy through decoration and accessories long before they start to appear in large -area stores.
Overall, Jonshon said that this season, the “midfielder” sets the tone where the declaration parts bring together the ease of everyday styles and that “personal style feels more natural than ever”.
In particular, these trends not only follow aesthetic trends but the interests that have gained popularity – although each trend tells a story. While Island Luxe and Maritime Living explore lifestyles, Galactic Metallic embraces the chrome aesthetics and the disorderly coquette continues the hyper-feminine style approach of all categories.
The tendency of the literary girl, however, poses in #Booletok, a growing community on social networks with the resurgence of reading clubs. Etsy has seen 20,000 purchases related to books daily from books of books such as hats with “bookish” jewelry. Similarly, Châteaucocore embraces the desire of consumers to romantize the daily life reflected in the research of French chalet decor increasing by 26,000%.
Johnson’s personal favorite, she told WWD is the luxury island for its “high and escaped aesthetic that brings a feeling of effortless vacation style in everyday life-think of airy silhouettes, natural textures, the details of the shell and the colors washed by the sun.”
In addition, the trend is inspired by a wave of vacation shows (like White Lotus) which have been more and more popular. “Etsy’s sellers are also looking there,” said Johnson. “It is a perfect example of how our community exploits cultural moments and transforms them into something completely original.”
To this end, Johnson explained that the creators of Etsy stand out in their ability to read the time.
“Etsy is really where trends start,” said Johnson. “What really distinguishes (creators Etsy) is that they are not only trends, but also to respond to them more quickly than anyone. They are deeply connected to their communities, listening carefully to what buyers are looking for and responding in real time – whether it means personalizing existing parts or creating entirely new.”
Unlike mass retailers, she said, sellers on Etsy quickly move from the idea to execution. “Whether it is an emerging aesthetic or a change in behavior by buyers, they don’t only follow trends – they shape the next one.”
