How to Tell a Real Coach Bag vs. a Fake

How to Tell a Real Coach Bag vs. a Fake

10 Warning signs of fake Coach Handbags

1.  On new bags, you will see plastic wrappings over the handles or other accessories in the bag.

2. Glue residue or tackiness left on the purse.

3.  Metal parts that look like nicket but is actually lightweigtht in density.

4.  A fake coach label's letters will have raised letters.  A real bag with have a smooth surface, no raised letters.

5.  Coach bags with signature patterns on the outside should have a solid interior lining or a Coach lozenge logo lining, not a C pattern lining.  Exceptions to this rule are  2 styles of the signature "wave" patterns that also have a signature C lining.  It should be noted that vintage Coach bags did not have linings.   Also, a satiny Signature C pattern lining (as shown in the 2nd photo above) is a knockoff and easily detected.

6.  Coach embossed creed with just a style number - no registration number  A Coach creed provides info regarding origin and details of the handcrafting.  If a creed has a style number, it should also have a registration number and vice versa.  Smaller Coach pouches, cosmetic cases, wristlets and accessories don't generally have a creed and for the few pouch styles that do, the creed does not contain a style or registration #

7.  Wording on the Coach creed is jumbled or misspelled. An authentic creed has evenly spaced words that contain no spelling errors.

8. Coach keyfobs that are sold in boxes with a barcode and style name.   Authentic Coach fobs aren't sold in custom branded boxes with UPC numbers and style names.  Authentic fobs are paired with generic Coach boxes.

9.  Sellers offering multiple quantities within the same listing, or posting the same style Coach item over multiple listings   These sellers should cause you to scrutinize their past sales.  Ask more questions to verify authenticity.

10.  Auction listings that include a handbag with matching accessory, particularly if the seller has several auctions with matching sets  Some counterfeit suppliers promote free matching accessories with the purchase of their Coach bags (ie. totes & satchels are paired with wristlets or wallets).  Imitation sets are plentiful at eBay.
