The Burberry Chalcot BE2318 eyeglasses bring British heritage to everyday prescription eyewear. This women's oval frame pairs a full-rim acetate front with Burberry's signature check pattern temples—a subtle nod to the brand's iconic design language that's been a hallmark since 1856.
The oval shape flatters a wide range of face shapes, particularly those with balanced proportions. The smooth curves and rounded edges create a softer, approachable look that works equally well in professional settings and casual wear. Available in 13 color and size combinations—from classic black and tortoise havana to transparent grey and light brown—the Chalcot offers versatility without sacrificing the refined aesthetic Burberry is known for.
Acetate Construction & Prescription-Ready Design
The full-rim acetate frame is derived from plant-based materials and is hypoallergenic, making it comfortable for extended wear. Acetate is prized for its durability and vibrant color retention, so your frames maintain their finish over time. The full-rim design provides complete lens coverage and can accommodate stronger prescriptions, including progressive lenses for those who need multifocal correction.
The frame comes in two sizes: 49-18-140 and 51-18-140 (lens width-bridge-temple length in millimeters). The 18mm bridge offers a comfortable fit for most nose widths, while the 140mm temples ensure stability without pressure. If you currently wear frames in the 49-51mm range, the Chalcot should fit similarly.
Burberry's Signature Details
Look closely at the temples and you'll find Burberry's distinctive check pattern—a design element that's appeared on everything from trench coats to eyewear since the brand's founding in England. The Burberry logo is subtly engraved on the lens and printed on the temples, authenticating each pair without overwhelming the design. These details make the Chalcot instantly recognizable to those who know, while remaining understated enough for daily wear.
The Chalcot ships prescription-ready with demo lenses that can be replaced with your single-vision, progressive, or reading prescription. Whether you need blue-light filtering for screen time, high-index lenses to reduce thickness, or anti-reflective coating for sharper vision, this frame accommodates the full range of lens options.

Lovely glasses and fit very well
Very comfy, stylish, and unique color. Love them!
Perfect!
I wish someone would have contacted me when I placed my order to let me know that the frame I selected was in backorder.
Two weeks after I placed the order, I called for an ETA and found out that my frames were not in stock; it took over a month for me to receive my glasses.
I love the glasses but I was really frustrated that it took so long for me to get them.
I was very pleased with my purchase.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are the Burberry Chalcot 2318 eyeglasses prescription-ready?
Yes, the Burberry Chalcot BE2318 frames are fully prescription-ready. The full-rim acetate design can accommodate single-vision, progressive (no-line bifocal), and reading lenses. You can also add lens upgrades like anti-reflective coating, blue-light filtering, high-index materials for stronger prescriptions, or transitions lenses. The frames ship with demo lenses that your optician will replace with your prescription.
What face shapes work best with oval eyeglass frames?
Oval frames like the Burberry Chalcot 2318 are highly versatile and flatter most face shapes, especially oval, round, and square faces. The soft, rounded shape balances angular features on square faces while complementing the natural proportions of oval faces. For best fit, choose frames that are as wide as or slightly wider than your cheekbones.
What sizes are available for the Burberry 2318 Chalcot?
The Burberry Chalcot BE2318 is available in two sizes: 49-18-140 and 51-18-140. The first number (49 or 51mm) is the lens width, 18mm is the bridge width, and 140mm is the temple length. If you currently wear frames in the 49-51mm lens width range, either size should work well. The 51mm is the more common size for average to wider faces.
What is the Burberry check pattern on the temples?
The Burberry check pattern is the brand's signature heritage design, originally created for the lining of their iconic trench coats. On the Chalcot BE2318 eyeglasses, this distinctive check appears on the temples as a subtle design detail that identifies the frames as authentic Burberry. It's a hallmark of the brand's British luxury aesthetic.
Are Burberry acetate frames durable and comfortable?
Yes, Burberry uses premium acetate that is both durable and comfortable for all-day wear. Acetate is a plant-based, hypoallergenic material known for its vibrant color retention and resistance to wear. It's lightweight yet strong, and the full-rim design of the Chalcot provides excellent structural integrity while distributing weight evenly across your face.
Can I use my vision insurance for Burberry eyeglasses?
Yes, most vision insurance plans cover designer eyeglass frames like Burberry. You can typically submit your itemized receipt to your insurance provider for reimbursement, or use your FSA/HSA funds to purchase prescription eyewear. Check with your specific insurance plan for coverage details and allowable frame amounts.

The oval shape is universally flattering and works well for both professional and casual settings. If you want maximum color choice and a shape that's proven to work across face types, the Chalcot is the safer bet.
The Aiden 2325 is another round/oval option in Burberry's lineup, also featuring acetate construction and the brand's heritage details. While specific measurements may vary, both frames are designed for similar face widths and prescription needs.
