How to Spot a Fake Coach Bag
It can be difficult to spot a fake Coach bag but there are some guidelines you can follow.
1. Take a look at the seller. In auction sites like Ebay where you can often get the best prices, look for the seller’s feedback from other purchasers. Check out the comments made. If the majority of the comments are negative then this is a good indication that you don’t want to deal with that seller and the seller is probably not conducting a reputable business. Also, stay away from sellers with very little feedback as new sellers may not know if they have a fake handbag or not.
2. Take a look at the pattern on the outside fabric. The majority of the Coach brand has a logo of C. The C brand logo should start at the center of the bag and go out. The middle seam should go straight through the middle of the C. Take a look at the side seams. The “C” pattern will be cut will be cut off on fake handbags. Also, on authentic bags the tip of the C should touch the tip of an opposite C.
3. Another sign that a Coach bag is fake is that the logo is incorrect. Pay close attention the fabric, it can tell you a lot about the quality and authenticity of a bag. Also, take a look at the stitching of the bag. Coach does not deliver authentic coach bags with poor stitching. Stitching that is off line or overlapping. Both are examples of very poor stitching.
4. Distributors of fake material try to release brand new styles that have never been released by Coach in any way shape or form. So take inventory of what Coach is releasing and compare your findings to what sellers are trying to sell to you.
5. Take a look at the inner lining. Does the inner lining have the signature logo of Coach? If so, is the CC touching as the outside. Signature linings are used by Coach, but only in bags with solid-colored exteriors. Once again, how about the stitching? Is it sloppy? Look for a serial number inside the bag. The serial number is stamped on the inside on a square patch of leather sewn into the lining. But smaller bags don’t come with them.
6. Coach only uses the best hardware for their purses, case in point, the zipper. The brand stamps their mark on all of their zippers with “YKK”. If you don’t see the “YKK” you know you have a fake Coach handbag.
7. How about the made by tag? Coach does have bags made in China. But Coach does not have handbags made in Korea. If you get a bag that says make in Korea take it back or return it immediately. This is not an authentic Coach purse.
