Seller-declared grades, sterling with an approximate US dollar equivalent at £1 ≈ $1.33 (July 2026). What each grade means.
What holds its value across Ted Baker
- Tailored suits and blazers, which are the strongest part of the label and are bought secondhand specifically for weddings and interviews
- Occasion and cocktail dresses in the distinctive floral prints, which buyers search by print rather than by style name
- Older pieces from before the 2018 restructuring, which were made to a noticeably different standard and are recognised as such
- Pieces still carrying their branded buttons, linings and hanging loops, which are the details that identify the label at a glance
What pulls Ted Baker resale value down
- Pilled or thinned wool on the tailoring, since the whole appeal is that it still looks sharp
- Faded prints on the dresses, where the print is the reason a buyer chose it
- Missing branded buttons, which are distinctive enough that a replacement is always visible
- Anything from the outlet and clearance channel, which was built to a lower spec and sells accordingly
Identifying and dating yours
- The interior label carries the Ted Baker size numbering, which runs 0 to 5 rather than standard sizing and confuses buyers — state the equivalent in your listing
- Branded lining and engraved buttons are the label’s signature and worth photographing close up
- Older garments carry a different label design, which is how buyers date a piece to the pre-restructuring era
What lifts any heels, whatever the label
Heels are judged on the parts that touch the ground, because worn tips and scuffed heels are the first things a buyer sees.
- Recognised designer labels with a resale following
- Intact heel tips with no exposed metal
- Leather soles and uppers over synthetic
- Original box and dust bags
And what pulls one down
- Worn-through heel tips showing the metal pin
- Scuffed heel stems and toe caps
- Stretched or creased vamps
- Very high heels, which suit fewer buyers
Working out what yours is worth
- Look at the heel tips and note whether they need replacing
- Photograph the soles and heel stems
- Measure the heel height and state it
What to state in the listing
- Size as marked, with UK, EU and US equivalents
- Heel height in centimetres, and heel type — stiletto, block, kitten or wedge
- Material of the upper and whether the sole is leather or synthetic
- Condition of the tips, insole and heel covering, stated separately
Brand, style and height: “Kurt Geiger Court Heels, Size 5, Black Patent” or “Block Heel Sandals, Nude, EU 38, 7cm”. Heel height in centimetres belongs in the description at least, because a buyer who cannot walk in 10cm will not buy them at any price.
Preparing and photographing it
- Check every heel tip. Worn-through tips exposing metal are both a defect and a floor hazard, and replacing them is inexpensive.
- Inspect the heel covering for lifting or scuffing, which is the wear point on covered heels.
- Clean the soles and the insole. A soiled insole reads as worn far more strongly than the actual wear justifies.
- The pair side on, standing, so the heel shape and height read clearly
- The soles and heel tips together
- The insole and inside label showing brand and size
- The heel covering close up, plus any scuff, mark or lifting
When it sells best, and handing it over
Lifts around party season from November to December and again through wedding season in late spring. Neutral colours in common sizes sell fastest; bold occasion colours take longer but face less competition.
Post boxed, with each shoe wrapped and the heels protected. Thin heels snap in transit when they are loose in a padded bag, so a rigid box is worth the small extra postage.
What buyers ask
What size is a Ted Baker 3?
Ted Baker uses its own 0 to 5 numbering rather than standard UK sizes, and a 3 generally corresponds to a UK 12. State the standard equivalent and the flat measurements in your listing, because this numbering is the single biggest source of returns on the label.
Does Ted Baker hold its value?
Modestly. It sells steadily rather than at a premium, and the tailoring and occasion dresses do best. Everyday pieces compete directly with the high street and are priced against it.
How much are Ted Baker heels worth?
Roughly £12 to £60 depending on condition, against £12 to £60 for heels generally. The identification points above are what move a listing to the top of that range.
