2022 was a year filled with so much change. While the world opened up again, we rediscovered our place within it, while seeking to restore balance in our lives. Shoppers of all ages fell in love with the coastal grandmother aesthetic, and many also embraced dopamine dressing and mood-boosting hues (hello, hot pink!).
With trend cycles faster than ever, the concept of duality is emerging as a key theme for 2023—as several (sometimes seemingly opposing) trends are showing they can co-exist at the same time. And the best part is that in today’s world it’s not an either-or situation; shoppers can embrace a mashup of whatever styles speak to them.
Etsy sellers are at the forefront of the global digital economy, and we’re watching these new trends bubble in real-time. And by shopping directly from makers and vintage sellers, accessing trends has never been easier, with so many items available at every price point. Read on for the trends we’re anticipating will be making waves in 2023.
Etsy’s First-Ever Colors of the Year: Indigo & Honeycomb
Indigo and Honeycomb are the official Etsy Colors of the Year. Despite their apparent contrasts, Indigo and Honeycomb are a perfect match. Indigo is a powerful combination of blue and violet that stands for wisdom and intuition while Honeycomb illuminates a space and serves as a reminder to value and protect the intelligence of nature that is all around us.

Statement marble
The marble print trend is an increasingly appealing alternative to ’70s-era tie dye, and is expected to be increasingly trendy this fall. Customers are embracing this classic material in new ways in 2023, including the new colours like royal blue and burgundy, thanks to its elegant and posh appearance, which just brightens the room altogether. The hearts of consumers have also been won over by dramatic statement pieces with intricate patterns, such as custom-carved sinks, plates, and candlestick holders. Tabletops, trays, wood, and marble prints will appear elegant anywhere you place them.

Melting forms
A variety of home decor pieces are taking inspiration from the organic movement of molten lava to create melting, textured forms within everything from ceramics and glassware to mirrors and sculptural candles. Melting lava trends are growing at a tremendous pace, leaving everyone with the desire to have some sort of object of the kind.

Super-sized bags
Large handbags are not only useful but also stylish. As consumers adopt bolder, more useful on-the-go storage solutions, bags like this have begun to re-emerge. These bags are roomy, elegant, and more than just a fashion statement as they can tackle travel, business trips, and everything in between. All you now need is a large bag to carry everything you need without having to worry about losing any of your essentials.

Less is more
Everyone now has a different approach to styling; some want to keep things basic while others like to go all out. Everybody gains from simplicity, regardless of age, sex, or body type. Simple outfits, such jumpsuits or dresses, look beautiful while yet being rather comfortable, allowing the skin to breathe. These outfits are really stylish and comfortable. These designs are a lifesaver for people who desire comfortable clothing with minimal detailing.

Weddings
The trends in India cannot be talked about without their extravagant weddings, and how tradition and flair can both be observed in tandem. Bold sleeves, boat necks, beautiful jewellery, and the best accessories for both the groom and the bride are the way to go as trends celebrate epic proportions of elegance and having fun with your look. On the decor front, the traditional flowers never fail to impress, with lovely rangolis, rose petals. When we arrange our shopping trips, we often talk about the elegance of exquisite sarees, gajras, and jewellery for women and charm that hand-embroidered juttis, sherwanis, etc. present for men. You can find all of these items in one place on Etsy with the options of variety and customization, whether it’s adding your name or customizing any design.
