Pre-Owned Burberry Sunglasses | JoliCloset

Burberry sunglasses compress the DNA of the London house — founded in 1856 by Thomas Burberry in Basingstoke — onto two temples: the beige-red-black-white Nova Check that first appeared inside 1920s trench linings, the TB monogram drawn by Riccardo Tisci in 2018, and, since 2022, the Equestrian Knight revived under Daniel Lee's watch. The collection is made in Italy by Luxottica, which explains the optical rigour — screwed hinges, calibrated acetate thickness, clean laser engravings. We list 21 authenticated Burberry pairs in sunglasses, part of a wider catalogue of 5,846 Burberry pieces (bags, trench coats, silk scarves, small leather goods).

Nova Check, Vintage Check, TB monogram: three signatures

Three signatures share the range. Nova Check — the historic beige-ivory-red-black tartan — runs across temples and interior plaques on the most recognisable models, heaviest on references from the 2000s and early 2010s. Vintage Check, reintroduced by Tisci in 2018, reads as a more restrained beige-white-black weave. The TB monogram, two interlocking letters, sits either on the hinge plate (TB Square, Meadow, Margot) or as a lens watermark. Shapes rotate between the signature oversized square, the metal aviator with a Burberry logo across the brow bar, the rectangular everyday acetate, and the feminine cat-eye with crystal-set or engraved temple plates.

Materials and Made in Italy construction

Italian-sourced acetate, metal for the aviators, CR-39 or polycarbonate lenses with UV400 protection. Frames come in tortoiseshell, honey, black, powder pink and gold; lenses range from classic gradient brown to pale pink and silver mirror. Daniel Lee (2022-2025) pushed the palette toward Burberry Blue and mushroom/malt tones, visible on more recent frames. References follow the BE4xxx format (women) or B2xxx (men), with a temple length of 140, 145 or 150 mm etched on the inside.

Price and value on the pre-owned market

Retail puts a Burberry pair between €220 (entry-level metal) and €550 (premium TB monogram acetate). On the pre-owned market, authenticated pairs typically trade 30 to 55% below retail, with strong demand for Nova Check models that have become scarce since Christopher Bailey quieted down the check on the main collection.

Authenticating a pair: four quick checks

Four points to verify. Inside engraving: on the temple, "Burberry" followed by "Made in Italy" and the full reference (model + colour + size), all in clean, readable laser engraving. Plates and hinges: screwed metal hinges (never riveted on recent models), TB or Knight plates perfectly aligned. Nova Check register: the tartan must fall symmetrically across both temples and align with the inner plate — a misalignment gives a counterfeit away. "Burberry Prorsum" tell: the Prorsum line was discontinued in 2015, so any pair marked Prorsum pre-dates that year — a useful dating anchor. Every pair sold on JoliCloset passes through our team, which checks these four points before the listing goes live.
