Am I the only one whose walked down the street in a busy city such as Toronto or NYC and stared at the purses that vendors are selling on the street? Well, did you know that most of those bags are fake? So I'm giving you some tips on how to spot a fake Coach bag!
Tip #1: The simplest way in determining authenticity would be examining the layout of the signature C’s. The C’s should be lined up perfectly to the center. However, it is not uncommon for the mini-signature C collections to be off by tiny bit only on the sides!
Tip #2: You can tell by not only the style of the bag, but also the pattern. If the pattern is not the Coach signature C, but a different letter, such as an O or a G then it’s an obvious fake. Tip #3: Coach Dust bags should be dark chocolate brown with a red drawstring. In the bottom right the words in all caps “COACH EST.1941″ written in white. Coach does not use cheap material to make these. There are many replica dust bags floating around on the Internet. So if you see one stay away, chances are that bag is fake.
Tip #4: Check the inside of the bag! The interior serial number should start with “No” and have 4 numbers after the dash, not 3. The writing should be neat on the authenticity tag, not crookedly stamped on. Also the paragraph above the serial number should be in all caps, and in English. Tip #5: Coach commonly uses logo tags that are attached by a beaded chain. Usually, the tag should match the trim of the bag. The words “COACH” should be raised, not imprinted. Some styles to have metal tags. Do your research to make sure that the tag goes with the bag you are getting. It is not uncommon for counterfeiters to mass-produce these metal tags; it’s the cheaper more profitable way. Tags are never made out of hard plastic.
I hope this helped you out for the next time you want to go shop for a new bag!
