Label Name Dating Guide
The spelling of the brand name on the label is one of the easiest ways to date a Burberry piece.
"Burberrys" (with an S)
The brand traded as Burberrys of London until 1999. Any label reading "Burberrys" dates the piece to pre-1999. This is normal and expected on vintage pieces.
"Burberry" (no S)
The brand simplified to Burberry in 1999. All genuine pieces from 1999 onward use this spelling. If a label claims to be modern but reads "Burberrys," that is a red flag.
Made in England
Authentic Burberry trench coats are manufactured at the Burberry factory in Castleford, Yorkshire, England. The label on a genuine trench coat should read "Made in England." Other product categories (scarves, bags, knitwear) may be produced in other countries — this is normal for those lines.
