Is Burberry worth reselling?
Burberry trench coats are timeless and expensive new, so genuine used ones resell well. Check scarves and accessories are popular too, but counterfeits are widespread.
Burberry items worth looking for
- Trench coats — Classic honey colour and well-known styles sell best.
- Check scarves — Cashmere scarves in good condition.
- Vintage 'Burberrys' — Older labels appeal to vintage buyers.
How to identify and date Burberry
- Older labels read 'Burberrys' (with an s), which helps identify vintage pieces.
- Trench coats come in several cuts and lengths; the label and style details help identify them.
- The check pattern is widely faked, especially on scarves.
What moves the price
- Item type: trench coats and cashmere scarves sell best.
- Completeness: removable linings and belts should be present.
- Condition: stains on light-coloured trenches reduce value.
- Authenticity: fakes are common, so clear evidence helps.
What to check before you buy
- Fabric content (gabardine, cashmere).
- Quality labels and stitching.
- Removable linings and belts present.
What to avoid
- Coats missing belts or with heavy staining.
Spotting fakes
Check scarf labels, fabric feel and check-pattern alignment. Fake scarves are particularly common.
