Get up to 19% back on Burberry in Europe with your VAT refund. Heritage Trench Coat, Lola Bag, Knight Bag across 6 stores. Paris flagship.
Founded in 1856 by Thomas Burberry in Basingstoke, England, Burberry invented gabardine fabric in 1879—a revolutionary weatherproof, breathable material that equipped British polar explorers and WWI soldiers. The iconic Burberry Check (camel, red, black, white) debuted in 1920 as trench coat lining before becoming fashion’s most recognizable pattern. Under Daniel Lee (appointed 2022), Burberry balances British heritage with contemporary luxury, while the classic trench coat remains the ultimate investment piece—unchanged in silhouette for over 100 years.
Burberry was born in Britain, but post-Brexit, continental Europe offers better value with VAT refunds (12-15.7%). Spanish boutiques in Barcelona/Madrid provide 15.7% VAT refunds—highest in Western Europe. European prices are 20-25% below Asia, and continental boutiques often have better inventory than UK stores now.

No. VAT refunds are only available for in-store purchases made in Europe. Online orders shipped internationally are already VAT-exempt.
High-value items (typically over €1,000) may require physical inspection at customs. Keep your purchase in carry-on luggage, not checked bags.
You must validate your VAT refund at your last EU point of departure, not your final destination.
With TravelMoney, refunds are processed instantly once validated at customs. Standard tax-free services can take 4-12 weeks.
