As the weather cools, it’s the ideal time to invest in a new coat—why not make it a pre-loved one? Opting for second-hand designer coats allows you to enjoy luxurious pieces without supporting fast fashion. Not only can you find premium brands at a fraction of the original price, but you’re also making an environmentally friendly choice by giving these garments a second life. Here’s what to look for this autumn:
Classic Wool Coats
Wool coats are timeless, and choosing pre-loved means you can score high-quality brands while reducing waste. Neutral colours like black, grey, or camel work year after year, and well-made, second-hand versions offer both durability and sophistication.

Luxe Trench Coats
A designer trench coat can be an investment, but when bought pre-loved, it becomes an affordable yet stylish option. Materials like cotton or gabardine provide a classic, weather-resistant look for autumn, giving you all the style with less environmental impact.

Leather and Faux Leather Jackets
Leather jackets, especially from designer brands, tend to age beautifully and look even better when slightly worn. By buying a pre-loved version, you get the same luxury feel without the high cost or the environmental toll of new production.

Vintage Faux Fur Coats
For an extra touch of glamour, vintage faux fur is perfect for autumn evenings. These coats often have superior craftsmanship and a unique, retro flair, making them a stylish and sustainable choice for the colder months.

Suede Jackets
A suede jacket is the perfect mix of rugged and refined, ideal for autumn layering. Pre-loved suede jackets often develop a beautiful patina over time, and the second-hand market is a treasure trove of vintage styles in rich autumnal tones like brown, tan, and rust. Not only are they effortlessly chic, but buying second-hand suede means you’re avoiding the environmental impact of producing new leather goods.
