Burberry is the very essence of British elegance and a staple in the world of luxury fashion. Carrying a Burberry bag instantly brings to mind images of rainy London streets and a day of shopping down Oxford St. While the brand proudly upholds its timeless designs, it never stops pushing innovation. Burberry was the first brand to livestream a fashion show and has been a significant presence in implementing sustainability initiatives within the industry.
Burberry has been worn by celebrities, aristocrats, explorers, and even military generals. The fashion house has been the object of royal affection, receiving a royal warrant from the late Queen Elizabeth and one from the then Prince of Wales, King Charles. Few brands have a history as rich and diverse as Burberry, making Burberry purses and accessories highly sought-after and iconic.

Burberry as a Branding Icon
Most will know a Burberry piece not by the logo, but by the signature checked patterns. This “quiet luxury” brand’s handbags, jackets, scarves, and accessories speak for themselves.
The iconic Burberry Check was first used to line the brand's weatherproof trench coats in the 1920s. Since then, the camel, red, black, and white tartan has been trademarked, and many iterations of the plaid have been used in the company's designs. The House Check is the most recognizable plaid often featured in new releases.
Burberry has also released designs using a Vintage Check reminiscent of the original pattern used as lining in their raincoats. Other iterations of the Burberry Check vary slightly in color and line placement from the recognizable House Check and include designs such as the diagonal Nova Check and the limited-edition Rainbow Vintage Check.
The first Burberry logo came from a public logo design competition held in 1901. The winning entry featured a knight on horseback. In 2018, a branding shakeup occurred with the appointment of Riccardo Tisci as the brand's Chief Creative Officer. A newer, more contemporary logo was released, featuring a monogrammed design of interwoven T’s and B’s: an homage to the founder of the house, Thomas Burberry.
Burberry designs and products cater to a variety of fashion styles and tastes. Whether you prefer classic, understated elegance or bold, colorful patterns, you’ll find a purse you love browsing our range of Burberry pre-owned handbags.
The Perfect Purse
Burberry may be best known for elegant British trench coats, but the brand’s handbags and purses are just as iconic. Take, for example, the Pocket Bag. Designed by Riccardo Tisci, the handbag marries form and function in an understated and trendy way. The Pocket Bag features a spacious main pocket with room to store all your essentials and an additional front flap pocket with a branded Burberry emblem.
The most well-known version of the Pocket Bag has contrasting cream canvas and brown leather trimmings, but you can find the bag in various patterns, colors, and fabrics. The design is seriously stylish while being suitable for the office or classroom.
For more classic looks, the brand's TB or Olympia bags offer quality leather fabric with more understated branding touches and designs. You'll want one in an array of colored materials every day of the week. If this sounds like you, we suggest browsing our Burberry pre-owned handbags for authentication, the best quality, and the best prices.
The Highest Quality
Burberry was founded on the idea that high fashion should be able to withstand the gloomy British weather. That idea led Thomas Burberry to develop new materials, patent effective designs, and create iconic pieces that world adventurers have taken with them to make history. The high quality of the Burberry brand has been trusted by Arctic explorers, military officers, royalty, and more.
Burberry sources the highest-quality leathers and interior fabrics to ensure their bags stand the wear and test of time. Their commitment to sustainability practices also ensures they are not putting too much strain on Mother Earth.
In 2016, Burberry was recognized as an industry leader in the 'Textiles, Apparel, and Luxury Goods' section of the Dow Jones Sustainability Index. Quality isn't sacrificed for clean manufacturing at Burberry.
Burberry began in 1856, and with over a century and a half of experience, the craftsmanship of Burberry products is unrivaled. You can see that experience in every bag and stitch. This dedication to quality makes Burberry pre-owned handbags a wise investment.
