What is Etsy's color of the year for 2026?

Patina Blue, a weathered blue-green inspired by aging copper. Etsy also named Washed Linen its first-ever Texture of the Year.

What is trending on Etsy for the 2026 holidays?

Etsy's Fall and Winter 2026 report names seven trends: Merrymaxxing, Mark of the Maker, Table Dressing, Craftmas, Operatic Drama, Family Reimagined and Freaky Festive Shoes — for example, DIY activities +8,500% and personalized friend gifts +1,400%.

Where do these numbers come from?

Trend names and percentages come from Etsy's own trend reports (U.S. signed-in search and sales data compared with the same period a year earlier). The monthly section comes from Listimize's daily observation of listings and is not Etsy data.

How often is this page updated?

The monthly data section updates every month; Etsy's seasonal trends are added when Etsy publishes a new report.

Should I copy a trending product?

No. Use a trend as direction for your own product and check demand and competition in your niche first. Copying another seller's design can also break Etsy's intellectual property rules.
