eBay Inc. announced 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: Marg herita Maccapani Missi' builds on Margherita's deep passion for discovering pre-loved and vintage pieces on eBay.

Shopping on the eBay marketplace since herteen 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. 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.
