eBay UK has announced a new partnership involving "Love Island." With a signifciant notion of pre-loved fashion sale, eBay serves as the first pre-loved fashion partner to couple up with the hottest show on TV. “We are thrilled to be pairing up with Ebay this year as our pre-loved fashion partner. As a show we strive to be a more eco-friendly production with more focus on ways in which we can visibly show this on screen," Mike Spencer, Executive Producer of Love Island, said. 

The collaboration comes after new research from eBay reveals that UK shoppers are becoming increasingly conscious of fast fashion. Approximately 20% of Brits admit that they buy more second-hand fashion compared to two years ago and reveal on average, that 16% of their wardrobes are made up of pre-loved clothes. “This partnership will see our Islanders get to dive into the shared wardrobes and help themselves to some incredible pre-loved clothes sourced from Ebay," Spencer said. "We aim to inspire our demographic and show that there are incredible finds to be had and how sharing is, in some small way, caring.”

 eBay UK has recruited celebrity stylist and secondhand enthusiast, Amy Bannerman, to style this year’s Islanders. Amy has styled celebrities such as Dua Lipa, Rita Ora, Sophie Turner, Jonathan Van Ness and Lena Dunham. Giving the "Love Island" wardrobes a total refresh this Summer, Islanders will wear pre-loved items this season, with a shared wardrobe situated in the new villa for the first time ever. Viewers can expect to see Islanders wearing fashion that reflects their personalities and individuality this summer.

Correlating with the partnership, eBay will have a presence on itv.com and Love Island’s social media channels. To get even closer to the Love Island experience, viewers will be able to explore eBay’s Preloved Fashion via the ‘Shop the Show’ tab on the official Love Island app and get access to Islanders through eBay’s social content, direct from the villa. The partnership will be integrated across ITV and ITV+1 and Love Island fans will also have access to talent content on eBay handles across Facebook, Instagram and TikTok. 

“We’re excited to be partnering with 'Love Island' this year, as the show’s first pre-loved fashion partner and to flip the conversation around fashion," Eve Williams, Chief Marketing Officer at eBay UK said. “As one of the original homes of pre-loved, we believe that by joining forces with this incredibly influential programme, we’ll inspire the nation to think differently and make more conscious choices when it comes to their wardrobes. Whether that is selling a dress that is sitting at the back of their wardrobe or shopping for their favourite islanders second-hand looks - these small changes can make a big difference to driving circularity.”
