<p style="text-align: justify; font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">This is a public offering of common stock and pre-funded warrants of
Xcel Brands,&nbsp;Inc. We are offering&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;shares
of our common stock. The public offering price for each share of common stock is $&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;.
We are also offering to those purchasers, if any, whose purchase of shares of our common stock in this offering would otherwise result
in such purchaser, together with its affiliates and certain related parties, beneficially owning more than 4.99% (or, at the election
of the purchaser, 9.99%) of our outstanding shares of common stock immediately following the consummation of this offering, the opportunity
to purchase, if any such purchaser so chooses, pre-funded warrants, or the Pre-Funded Warrants, in lieu of shares that would otherwise
result in such purchaser&rsquo;s beneficial ownership exceeding 4.99% (or, at the election of the purchaser, 9.99%) of our outstanding
shares of common stock. The public offering price of each Pre-Funded Warrant will equal the price per share in this offering, minus $0.001,
and the exercise price of each Pre-Funded Warrant will equal $0.001 per share. This offering also relates to the shares of common stock
issuable upon exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants sold in this offering.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Certain members of our management have indicated
an interest in purchasing up to 10% of the securities sold in this offering. However, because indications of interest are not binding
agreements or commitments to purchase, the underwriters could determine to sell or not sell shares to members of our management, and members
of our management could determine to purchase or not purchase units in this offering.</p>

symbol &ldquo;XELB.&rdquo; On March 13, 2024, the last reported sale price of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market was $0.98
per share. <font style="background-color: white">As of March 14, 2024, the aggregate market value of our outstanding common stock held
by&nbsp;non-affiliates&nbsp;was approximately $15,858,199 based on 10,231,096 shares of common stock held by such&nbsp;non-affiliates,&nbsp;and
a per share price of $1.55 the closing sale price of our common stock on January&nbsp;23, 2024. During the&nbsp;12-calendar&nbsp;month
period that ends on, and includes, the date of this prospectus supplement (but excluding this offering), we have not offered and sold
any of our securities pursuant to General Instruction I.B.6 of Form&nbsp;S-3.</font> There is no established trading market for the Pre-Funded

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="text-align: justify; font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">We plan to continue to grow our brands and business through three primary
strategies: organic growth in our existing brands, developing new brands that are well positioned in social commerce, and the acquisition
of brands and businesses that fit our long-term strategy.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="text-align: justify; font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">With respect to organic growth in our existing brands, we have recently
entered into master license agreements for our Halston Brands and Judith Ripka Brands. The Halston license agreement is with G-III Apparel
Group, which is a publicly traded company and one of the largest designers and suppliers of wholesale apparel and accessories in the world,
with revenue of over $3,000,000,000 last year. While the license provides for guaranteed minimum royalties to us during the term, which
extends for 25 years, including an initial term of five years and renewal options, G-III is expected to launch the brand through its existing
distribution channels in Fall 2024, we expect that the business and corresponding royalty revenues to Xcel will ramp up beginning with
the launch. Additionally, we entered into a direct-to-retail license in 2023 with America&rsquo;s Collectible Network, dba JTV, for our
Judith Ripka Brands, which officially launched on its television channel in October&nbsp;2023 and which we expect to continue to ramp
up in 2024 and beyond as JTV has expressed plans to make Judith Ripka one of the core brands on its network. Finally, C. Wonder launched
on HSN in mid-2023, and performed extremely well in its launch year. HSN advised us that it has planned increases in the business in 2024
that we expect will result in increased revenues from the brand in 2024 and beyond. We are also working on licensing other categories
under the C. Wonder brand for distribution both on HSN and outside of the network.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="text-align: justify; font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">TWRHLL by Christie Brinkley is a brand that we are scheduled to launch
in May&nbsp;2024 on HSN, and with plans to license and launch products outside of HSN starting in 2025. While this is a new brand for
Xcel, it is an example of a brand that we developed with low up-front costs and were able to leverage our unique experience, relationships,
and social commerce knowledge to launch. We&rsquo;re excited about launching this brand with Christie Brinkley, and expect to launch at
least one other similarly developed brand later this year.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="text-align: justify; font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">We have a proven track record for acquiring brands and/or businesses
that are strategically important to and synergistic with our business, and are consistently reviewing potential acquisition targets. Potential
acquisitions may include established or newer brands that do or would perform well in live-streaming or social commerce, direct-to-consumer
brands or platforms with significant consumer following, or established media companies which could benefit from our expertise in direct-response
television, live-streaming, and social commerce. While our strategy is not dependent on such acquisitions, we carefully consider potential
acquisitions as a means to leverage our infrastructure and expertise and accelerate our growth.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="text-align: justify; font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Finally, in December&nbsp;2023, Xcel acquired a 30% interest in ORME,
which is a brand new short-form video social commerce marketplace that launched in the first quarter of 2024. While we will not consolidate
ORME&rsquo;s financial results of operations with our own given our minority non-controlling position in the business and do not anticipate
receiving regular dividends or other distributions from ORME in the near future, we believe that ORME has significant growth potential
and would add significant value to Xcel, both through our equity interest in ORME as well as our ability to leverage ORME in order to
grow additional direct-to-consumer brands that would perform well in social commerce pursuant to our aforementioned brand development
and acquisition strategies. ORME licenses the technology utilized by its marketplace from KonnectBio Inc., of which Robert D&rsquo;Loren,
the Company&rsquo;s Chairman of the Board, Chief executive officer and President, owns an approximate 20% non-controlling interest.</p>

wholesale and direct-to-consumer sales of products under its brands. In 2023, we signed master license agreements for our Halston and
Judith Ripka brands, and license agreements for the supply of products under certain on our brands to HSN, that enabled us outsource a
majority of our wholesale and direct-to-consumer operations and revert to a working capital light business model. In addition to licensing
out the brands described above, we outsourced Longaberger through a license agreement with a third party to operate and manage the Longaberger
e-commerce website in the fourth quarter of 2023 and have recently launched Longaberger on ORME in early 2024.</p>

proceeds of this offering, including for any of the purposes described in the section of this prospectus supplement titled &ldquo;Use
of Proceeds.&rdquo; You will have limited information concerning our management&rsquo;s specific intentions regarding the use of the proceeds
of this offering and be relying on the judgment of our management regarding the application of the proceeds of this offering. Because
of the number and variability of factors that will determine our use of our existing cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and
the net proceeds from this offering, their ultimate use may vary substantially from their currently intended use. The results and effectiveness
of the use of proceeds are uncertain, and we could spend the proceeds in ways that you do not agree with or that do not improve our results
of operations or enhance the value of our common stock. Pending their use, we may invest the net proceeds from this offering in short-term,
investment-grade, interest-bearing securities. These investments may not yield a favorable return to our shareholders. Our failure to
apply these funds effectively could harm our business, delay the development of our pipeline product candidates and cause the price of
our common stock to decline.</p>

In addition to the Pre-Funded Warrants being sold in this offering, we have a significant number of options and warrants to purchase shares
of our common stock outstanding. If these securities are exercised, you may incur further dilution. Moreover, to the extent that we issue
additional options or warrants to purchase, or securities convertible into or exchangeable for, shares of our common stock in the future
and those options, warrants or other securities are exercised, converted or exchanged, shareholders may experience further dilution.</p>

of factors, including that we are currently a small company which is still relatively unknown to securities analysts, stock brokers, institutional
investors and others in the investment community that generate or influence sales volume, and that even if we came to the attention of
such persons, they tend to be risk-averse and reluctant to follow an unproven company such as ours or purchase or recommend the purchase
of our shares until such time as we become more seasoned and viable. As a consequence, there may be periods of several&nbsp;days or more
when trading activity in our shares is minimal, as compared to a seasoned issuer which has a large and steady volume of trading activity
that will generally support continuous sales without an adverse effect on share price. We cannot provide any assurance that a broader

payment of the $963,642 earnout payment for 2023 due to a spokesperson due to alleged uncured breaches of the spokesperson&rsquo;s obligations
under an employment agreement.</i></b></p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="text-align: justify; font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">On February&nbsp;16, 2024, counsel to Lori Goldstein, a brand spokesperson
for the company, advised the company that the Company was in material breach of the March&nbsp;31, 2021 asset purchase agreement for failure
to pay the earn-out achieved for 2023 in the amount of $963,642 (the &ldquo;2023 Earn-out&rdquo;) under the terms the agreement, and is
instead intending on paying such amount quarterly in 2024. The Company does not dispute the amount of the 2023 Earn-out and advised Ms.&nbsp;Goldstein
that due to Ms.&nbsp;Goldstein&rsquo;s failure to make all of the QVC appearances as required by her employment agreement, the Company
was not willing to pay the 2023 Earn-out in a lump sum but would make the payment in four quarterly installments. Failure to amicably
resolve this dispute could adversely affect the Company&rsquo;s cash flow and the availability of Ms.&nbsp;Goldstein&rsquo;s services.
To the extent that any of Ms.&nbsp;Goldstein&rsquo;s services become unavailable to us, we will likely need to utilize our existing back-up
guest hosts in lieu of Ms.&nbsp;Goldstein and/or find a replacement for Ms.&nbsp;Goldstein to promote the LOGO by Lori Goldstein brand.
Competition for skilled designers and high-profile brand promoters is intense, and compensation levels may be high, and there is no guarantee
that we would be able to identify and attract a qualified replacement, or if Ms.&nbsp;Goldstein&rsquo;s services are not available to
us, that we would be able to promote the LOGO by Lori Goldstein brand on QVC and otherwise. This could significantly affect the value
of the LOGO by Lori Goldstein brand and our ability to market the brand, and could impede our ability to fully implement our business
plan and future growth strategy for the Lori Goldstein brands, which would harm our business and prospects and adversely impact our results
of operations, financial conditions and cash flows.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify; font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Our certificate of incorporation provides for our board of directors
to be elected at each annual meeting of our stockholders. &nbsp;Because our stockholders do not have cumulative voting rights, stockholders
holding a majority of the shares of common stock outstanding are able to elect all of our directors. &nbsp;Our bylaws also provide that
directors may be removed by the stockholders only for cause upon the vote of 66 2/3% of the shares then entitled to vote at an election
of directors. &nbsp;Furthermore, the authorized number of directors may be changed only by resolution of the board of directors, and vacancies
and newly created directorships on the board of directors may, except as otherwise required by law or determined by the board, only be
filled by a majority vote of the directors then serving on the board, even though less than a quorum.</p>

of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting

a majority of the issued and outstanding shares present in person or represented by proxy at a meeting of stockholders and entitled to

existing stockholders to replace our board of directors as well as for another party to obtain control of us by replacing our board of
directors. &nbsp;Since our board of directors has the power to retain and discharge our officers, these provisions could also make it
more difficult for existing stockholders or another party to effect a change in management. &nbsp;In addition, the authorization of undesignated
preferred stock makes it possible for our board of directors to issue preferred stock with voting or other rights or preferences that
could impede the success of any attempt to change our control.</p>

stability in the composition of our board of directors and its policies and to discourage coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover
bids. &nbsp;These provisions are also designed to reduce our vulnerability to hostile takeovers and to discourage certain tactics that
may be used in proxy fights. &nbsp;However, such provisions could have the effect of discouraging others from making tender offers for
our shares and may have the effect of delaying changes in our control or management.</p>

securities issued in this offering. The exercise price and number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Representative&rsquo;s Warrants
may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a stock dividend or our recapitalization, reorganization, merger or
consolidation. However, the Representative&rsquo;s Warrant exercise price or underlying shares will not be adjusted for issuances of shares

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="text-align: justify; font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Until the distribution of securities in this offering is complete,
SEC rules&nbsp;may limit the ability of the underwriter to bid for and purchase shares of our common stock. As an exception to these rules,
underwriters are permitted to engage in certain transactions which stabilize the price of the shares of common stock, which may include
short sales, covering transactions and stabilizing transactions. Short sales involve sales of shares of common stock in excess of the
number of shares to be purchased by the underwriter in the offering, which creates a short position. &ldquo;Covered&rdquo; short sales
are sales made in an amount not greater than the underwriter&rsquo;s option to purchase additional shares of common stock from us in the
offering. An underwriter may close out any covered short position by either exercising its option to purchase additional shares of common
stock or purchasing shares of common stock in the open market. &ldquo;Naked&rdquo; short sales are any sales in excess of such option.
Because the underwriter does not have an option to purchase additional shares from us, any short positions will be &ldquo;naked&rdquo;
and it would have to close out any such short position by purchasing shares of common stock in the open market. A naked short position
is more likely to be created if the underwriter is concerned that there may be downward pressure on the price of the shares of common
stock in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in the offering. Stabilizing transactions consist
of various bids for or purchases of the shares of common stock made by the underwriter in the open market prior to the completion of the
offering.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="text-align: justify; font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">The underwriter may also impose a penalty bid. This occurs when a particular
underwriter repays to another underwriter a portion of the underwriting discount received by it because the representative has repurchased
shares sold by or for the account of such underwriter in stabilizing or short covering transactions.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="text-align: justify; font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Neither we nor the underwriter make any representation or prediction
as to the direction or magnitude of any effect that the transactions described above might have on our shares of common stock. Any of
these activities may have the effect of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of our shares of common stock. They may
also cause the price of the shares of common stock to be higher than the price that would otherwise exist in the open market in the absence
of these transactions. If an underwriter commences any of these transactions, it may discontinue them at any time without notice.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">We may issue shares of our common stock
from time to time. &nbsp;Each holder of our common stock is entitled to one vote for each share on all matters submitted to a vote of
the stockholders, including the election of directors, and subject to any contractual agreement entered into by any holder of shares.
 &nbsp;Generally, all matters to be voted on by stockholders must be approved by a majority of the votes entitled to be cast by all shares
of our common stock that are present in person or represented by proxy. &nbsp;A vote by the holders of a majority of our outstanding shares
is required to effectuate certain fundamental corporate changes such as liquidation, merger or an amendment to our certificate of incorporation.
 &nbsp;Our certificate of incorporation does not provide for cumulative voting in the election of directors.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">The holders of shares of our common stock
will be entitled to such cash dividends as may be declared from time to time by our board of directors from funds available therefore.
 &nbsp;Upon liquidation, dissolution, or winding up, the holders of shares of our common stock will be entitled to receive pro rata all
remaining assets then-available for distribution to such holders. &nbsp;Holders of our common stock have no preemptive or other subscription
rights and no conversion rights, and there are no redemption provisions applicable to our common stock.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Our board of directors, without further
stockholder approval, may issue preferred stock in one or more classes or series as the board may determine from time to time. &nbsp;Each
such class or series shall be distinctly designated. &nbsp;All shares of any one class or series of the preferred stock shall be alike
in every particular, except that there may be different dates from which dividends thereon, if any, shall be cumulative, if made cumulative.
 &nbsp;The voting powers, designations, preferences, limitations, restrictions and relative rights thereof, if any, may differ from those
of any and all other series outstanding at any time. &nbsp;Our board of directors has express authority to fix (by resolutions adopted
prior to the issuance of any shares of each particular class or series of preferred stock) the number of shares, voting powers, designations,
preferences, limitations, restrictions and relative rights of each such class or series. &nbsp;The rights granted to the holders of any
series of preferred stock could adversely affect the voting power of the holders of common stock and the issuance of preferred stock may
delay, defer or prevent a change in our control.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">If we sell any series of preferred stock
under this prospectus, we will fix the designations, voting powers, preferences and rights of such series of preferred stock, as
well as the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, in the certificate of designation relating to that series. &nbsp;We
will file as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, or will incorporate by reference from
reports that we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, the form of any certificate of designation that describes
the terms of the series of preferred stock that we are offering before the issuance of the related series of preferred stock.
 &nbsp;We urge you to read the applicable prospectus supplement (and any free writing prospectus that we may authorize to be provided
to you) related to the series of preferred stock being offered, as well as the complete certificate of designation that contains the
terms of the applicable series of preferred stock.</p>

debt securities will rank equally with any other unsecured and unsubordinated debt. &nbsp;The subordinated debt securities will be subordinate
and junior in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner described in the instrument governing the debt, to all of our senior indebtedness.
 &nbsp;Convertible debt securities will be convertible into or exchangeable for our common stock or other securities. &nbsp;Conversion
may be mandatory or at your option and would be at prescribed conversion rates.</p>

of common stock, preferred stock and/or debt securities in one or more series. &nbsp;We may issue warrants independently or as units in
combination with common stock, preferred stock and/or debt securities, and the warrants may be attached to or separate from these securities.
 &nbsp;In this prospectus, we have summarized certain general features of the warrants. &nbsp;We urge you, however, to read the applicable
prospectus supplement (and any free writing prospectus that we may authorize to be provided to you) related to the series of warrants
being offered, as well as any warrant agreements and warrant certificates that contain the terms of the warrants. &nbsp;We will file as

 &nbsp;The risks described in these documents are not the only ones we face, but those that we consider to be material. &nbsp;There may
be other unknown or unpredictable economic, business, competitive, regulatory or other factors that could have material adverse effects
on our future results. &nbsp;Past financial performance may not be a reliable indicator of future performance, and historical trends should
not be used to anticipate results or trends in future periods. &nbsp;If any of these risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition,
results of operations or cash flow could be seriously harmed. &nbsp;This could cause the trading price of our common stock to decline,
resulting in a loss of all or part of your investment. &nbsp;Please also read carefully the section below entitled &ldquo;Forward-Looking

to discourage certain tactics that may be used in proxy fights. &nbsp;However, such provisions could have the effect of discouraging others
from making tender offers for our shares and may have the effect of delaying changes in our control or management.</p>

to purchase additional shares, and engage in, stabilizing transactions, short covering transactions and penalty bids in accordance with
Regulation M under the Exchange Act. &nbsp;An underwriter&rsquo;s option to purchase additional share involves sales in excess of the
offering size, which create a short position. &nbsp;Stabilizing transactions permit bids to purchase the underlying security so long as
the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum price. &nbsp;Syndicate covering or other short-covering transactions involve purchases
of the securities, either through exercise of option to purchase additional shares or in the open market after the distribution is completed,
to cover short positions. &nbsp;Penalty bids permit the underwriters to reclaim a selling concession from a dealer when the securities
originally sold by the dealer are purchased in a stabilizing or covering transaction to cover short positions. &nbsp;Those activities
may cause the price of the securities to be higher than it would otherwise be. &nbsp;If commenced, the underwriters may discontinue any
of the activities at any time.</p>

and must be identified as passive market makers. &nbsp;In general, a passive market maker must display its bid at a price not in excess
of the highest independent bid for such security; if all independent bids are lowered below the passive market maker&rsquo;s bid, however,
the passive market maker&rsquo;s bid must then be lowered when certain purchase limits are exceeded. &nbsp;Passive market making may stabilize
the market price of the securities at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market and, if commenced, may be discontinued
at any time.</p>
