Topshop Relaunch Triggers Resale Surge After Trafalgar Square Show and Site Reboot

Nostalgia-fueled demand is pushing Topshop archive pieces to higher prices on secondhand platforms.

Overview

  • Topshop.com is live with the Autumn/Winter 2025 line launched on 16 August, and roughly 720 styles are currently available to buy.
  • The brand staged an outdoor AW25 runway in Trafalgar Square with front-row attendees including Cara Delevingne and Adwoa Aboah, alongside London Mayor Sadiq Khan.
  • Depop reports early-August searches for “Topshop” up 2,403%, with “Topshop Kate Moss” searches up 125% in July and renewed interest in Joni and Jamie jeans.
  • eBay activity highlights high asking prices for archive pieces, including a sold floral dress at £115 and current listings ranging from about £160 to £281 for Kate Moss-era items.
  • The reboot faces criticism over limited transparency on sourcing and labor practices, even as Topshop’s leadership links a higher price point to efforts toward a more sustainable model.
