Anthropologie Curtains Resale Value

Anthropologie curtains: price by condition

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 Anthropologie

• Dresses in discontinued prints, which were made in limited quantities and are searched for by name
• Homeware, particularly the decorative and hand-finished pieces, which are a large part of the business
• Pilcro denim and the other in-house sub-labels, which have their own followings
• Anything with hand embroidery or beading, which is labour-intensive and cannot be replicated cheaply

What pulls Anthropologie resale value down

• Damaged embroidery and missing beads, which cannot be matched to the original
• Chipped or cracked homeware, which is bought on appearance and shows everything
• Faded prints on cotton dresses, which is what sunlight does and cannot be reversed
• Delicate fabrics with pulls or snags, which run and are not repairable invisibly

Identifying and dating yours

1. Name the specific range or print if you know it, since discontinued designs are searched for directly
2. Photograph embroidery and beadwork close up, as their condition is most of the value on those pieces
3. For homeware, photograph in daylight from several angles including the base

What lifts any curtains, whatever the label

Curtains sell on size above everything, because a pair that does not fit the window is useless whatever it looks like.

• Common drop and width combinations
• Lined and thermal-lined pairs
• Quality fabrics with no fading
• Matching tiebacks included

And what pulls one down

• Sun-faded leading edges
• Unlined thin fabrics
• Unusual sizes that fit few windows
• Shrinkage from washing

Working out what yours is worth

1. Measure the width and drop precisely and state both
2. Check the leading edges for sun fading
3. Note the heading type: pencil pleat, eyelet or tab top

What to state in the listing

• Width of each curtain and the drop, in centimetres
• Whether the width quoted is per curtain or for the pair
• Heading type, and whether hooks or rings are included
• Whether they are lined, blackout or thermal, and the lining condition

Dimensions first: “Pair of Blackout Curtains, 168x229cm, Pencil Pleat, Grey”. Width and drop in centimetres are the search. Say the heading type — pencil pleat, eyelet, tab top — because it decides whether they fit the buyer’s track or pole at all.

Preparing and photographing it

1. Measure the width of one curtain and the total width of the pair, then the drop from the top of the heading to the hem.
2. Check the lining separately from the face fabric, since linings rot and discolour in sunlight long before the fabric does.
3. Wash or clean according to the label and check for sun-bleached edges, which is the standard fault.

1. The pair hung, if you can, so the drape and fullness read
2. One curtain laid flat with a tape across the width
3. The heading tape and hooks close up
4. The lining, plus any sun bleaching, mark, or worn hem

When it sells best, and handing it over

Steady year round with a lift in autumn as people warm up rooms, and in spring when they redecorate. Blackout and thermal curtains sell fastest.

Heavy for their bulk, especially lined pairs, so weigh before quoting postage. Fold along existing creases and they arrive ready to hang.

What buyers ask

Why does Anthropologie hold its value?

Much of the range is made in small runs and discontinued quickly, so a print or a homeware line that has ended cannot be bought new at any price.

How do I describe a beaded or embroidered piece?

Count and photograph any missing or damaged sections. The handwork is what the buyer is paying for and it cannot be matched, so honesty here prevents returns.

How much are Anthropologie curtains worth?

Roughly £12 to £60 depending on condition, against £10 to £50 for curtains generally. The identification points above are what move a listing to the top of that range.

What the fees would take elsewhere

At the mid-range £36 for Anthropologie curtains, against what the commission marketplaces would deduct:

Seller-side rates verified 26 Jul 2026, percentages only — the per-order and processing charges those platforms add are excluded, so the real gap is wider.
