Vintage Burberry Prices: Trench Coats, Bags and Sunglasses

What Burberry Costs: Price Guide from The Foundry Journal

Most people looking for vintage Burberry want a trench. Most people who get a deal on Burberry get it somewhere else first: sunglasses, scarves and leather bags. Here is what the Burberry we carry is asking right now, and what to check when a trench does come up.

What it costs right now

Prices below are asking prices on the 6 pieces live on Foundry, checked 26 October 2026. Every piece is one of one and sold by an independent seller on eBay, where offers often bring the final price lower.

Across all 6 pieces, asking prices run from $50 to $850. The middle sits at $196.

Category Pieces Asking range Typical
Sunglasses 3 $50 to $95 $90
Bags 2 $360 to $850 $605

One scarf, asking $297, is counted in the total but not in the table.

Buying a vintage Burberry trench coat

We have no trench coats live right now. When one comes in, these are the checks that matter.

  • The label. Look for Burberrys or Burberry on the neck label, and the care and content tag inside. Older coats often say Burberrys, with an s.
  • The fabric. Classic trenches are cotton gabardine. It should feel dense and smooth, not thin or shiny.
  • The lining. The check lining should line up at the seams. A zip-out wool liner adds value.
  • The size. Vintage trenches run long and roomy. Ask for chest, shoulder and length in inches.
  • The wear. Check the collar, cuffs and hem. Fraying there is common and fixable. Stains on light gabardine are harder.

What moves the price

  • The line. Burberry Prorsum was the runway line and asks the most. Our Prorsum Warrior hobo asks $850. Burberry London and plain Burberry pieces sit lower.
  • The check. The house check is the signature. Pieces that show it clearly, inside or out, are the easiest to sell on, which keeps prices firm.
  • The frames. All three pairs of sunglasses live right now were made in Italy, and all ask under $100. Ask for a photo of the inside of the temple, where the model number sits.
  • Condition. Light leather, canvas and gabardine show marks. Ask for photos in daylight.

How to check what it actually sold for

Asking prices are a starting point. Sold prices are the truth. Before you buy or make an offer, run this check.

  • Search the piece on eBay with the brand, the model or style name and the colour.
  • Switch on the Sold items filter. The prices in green are what people actually paid.
  • Match condition and size as closely as you can. Three to five close matches beat one perfect one.
  • Add shipping to both sides. A cheap piece with $40 postage is not a cheap piece.

If the sold prices sit well below the ask, you have a case for an offer. If they sit near it, the listing is fairly priced and a small offer is the most you should try.

Where the value is

Sunglasses are the way in. Three pairs are live, all under $100. A leather bag from the 90s, like our black shoulder bag at $360, is the next step. For a trench, watch sold prices for a few weeks before you buy. You will quickly see what a fair number looks like for your size and colour.
