The Burberry BE 2388 Eyeglasses are a bold square acetate frame designed for women. Available in dark havana tortoise, classic black, soft beige, and rich bordeaux, these full-rim frames feature the signature Burberry monogram logo embossed on each temple.
Premium Acetate Construction
Built from high-quality cellulose acetate, the BE 2388 delivers the durability and rich color depth that set luxury frames apart from mass-market alternatives. Acetate offers a smooth, hypoallergenic finish that won't irritate skin during all-day wear, and the material holds its shape reliably over time. The full-rim design provides excellent lens retention and works well with a wide range of prescription strengths, including progressive and high-index lenses for stronger prescriptions.
The frames ship with demo lenses and are fully prescription-ready. The BE 2388 works with single-vision, progressive, and high-index lenses, plus anti-reflective and blue-light coatings. The 18mm bridge and integrated nose pads distribute weight evenly, reducing pressure points during extended wear.
Square Shape & Fit
The square frame shape works particularly well on round and oval face shapes, adding definition and structure. Available in two lens widths—50mm and 52mm—with a consistent 18mm bridge and 140mm temples, the BE 2388 offers a medium fit that suits most adult faces. The slightly oversized square silhouette feels current without veering into trendy territory, making these frames a versatile choice for professional settings, casual weekends, and everything in between.
Each pair arrives with original Burberry packaging, including a protective case and cleaning cloth.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are the Burberry 2388 eyeglasses prescription-ready?
Yes, the Burberry 2388 frames are fully prescription-ready and ship with demo lenses. You can have them fitted with single-vision, bifocal, or progressive prescription lenses at any optical lab. The full-rim acetate construction accommodates a wide range of prescriptions, including high-index lenses for stronger prescriptions and specialty coatings like anti-reflective or blue-light blocking.
What face shapes work best with the Burberry 2388 square frames?
Square frames like the BE 2388 are particularly flattering on round and oval face shapes, as they add definition and structure to softer facial features. The medium-width square silhouette (50mm or 52mm lens width) balances facial proportions without overwhelming your features. If you have a square or angular face, you may prefer rounder frame styles for contrast.
What size should I choose: 50mm or 52mm?
The lens width determines how the frames fit your face. The 50mm size works well for smaller to average face widths, while the 52mm offers a slightly larger, more contemporary fit. Both sizes share the same 18mm bridge and 140mm temple length. If your current glasses measure 49-51mm across the lens, choose 50mm; if they measure 51-53mm, the 52mm will likely fit better.
What material are the Burberry 2388 frames made from?
The BE 2388 frames are constructed from premium cellulose acetate, a high-quality plastic material known for its durability, rich color depth, and hypoallergenic properties. Acetate is lighter and more flexible than standard plastic, holds its shape over time, and won't fade or peel. This is the same material used in Burberry's higher-end eyewear collections.
Do these frames come with a case and authenticity guarantee?
Yes, authentic Burberry 2388 eyeglasses ship with original Burberry packaging, including a branded protective case and cleaning cloth. Each frame features the Burberry logo engraved on the temples and printed on the demo lenses. All frames sold through authorized retailers like Designer Optics are 100% authentic and made in Italy.
Can I use these frames for progressive lenses?
Absolutely. The Burberry 2388's full-rim square design provides sufficient vertical lens height (approximately 42mm) to accommodate progressive lenses comfortably. The stable acetate construction and well-fitted bridge ensure the frames sit correctly on your face, which is essential for progressive lens performance. Just provide your prescription and pupillary distance when ordering your lenses.

Burberry 2388 vs. 2255Q vs. 2172: Which Square Frame Is Right for You?
If you're deciding between Burberry's women's square acetate frames, the choice comes down to fit preferences, style details, and budget. All three models deliver authentic Italian-made quality and prescription-ready construction, but each has distinct advantages.
BE 2388: The Modern Choice
The Burberry 2388 represents Burberry's current design direction with clean lines, versatile colorways (dark havana, black, beige, bordeaux), and two size options (50mm and 52mm). The embossed monogram logo on the temples is subtle and sophisticated. At $184-$195, it sits in the mid-range of Burberry's acetate collection. Choose the BE 2388 if you want a contemporary square frame with excellent color options and flexible sizing.
BE 2255Q: The Customer Favorite
The Burberry 2255Q has earned a loyal following with 97% positive reviews on Designer Optics. It features decorative temple details and often incorporates Burberry's signature check pattern, making it more visually distinctive than the BE 2388. However, some long-term wearers report that the decorative elements can loosen over time. Available in 51mm and 53mm, it's priced similarly at $175-$195. Choose the BE 2255Q if you want proven performance and appreciate decorative design elements.
BE 2172: The Value Option
The Burberry 2172 delivers the same acetate quality and square shape at a lower price ($159-$178). It's an older model with more conservative styling, making it ideal if you prefer understated frames or want to save $20-$30 without sacrificing build quality. Choose the BE 2172 if budget is a priority and you don't need the latest design details.
Our recommendation: For most customers, the BE 2388 offers the best balance of modern styling, color variety, and size flexibility. The 50mm option fills a gap that the BE 2255Q doesn't offer, and the cleaner temple design may prove more durable over years of daily wear. If you have a petite face and love decorative details, consider the BE 2255Q in 51mm. If you're budget-conscious, the BE 2172 remains a solid choice.
