eBay has launched a pre-loved wedding hub, offering second-hand bridal and bridesmaid dresses, accessories and vintage suits. The collection includes designer outfits from brands such as Vera Wang, Suzanne Neville and Pronovias Mildred, and aims to provide a sustainable and cost-effective option for shoppers. Kirsty Keoghan, global GM of fashion at eBay, said the hub would enable modern brides to find wedding outfits that reflected their personality while increasing the lifespan of the dresses, which were often only worn once. The RTIH Innovation Awards, which celebrate global tech innovation, are now open for entries, with a Bricks and Mortar category sponsored by CADS.
