How To Spot A Fake Coach Bag

Coach has an excellent craftsmanship and no one can beat them in terms of quality but still people are getting replica instead of real ones and get cheated. Here are few points on how to spot a fake Coach bag. If we keep an eye on handbag detail and match it up with the details of real Coach handbags, we can definitely spot the difference. Coach uses the best leather and best hardware but still people get confused. Fake Coach can look similar to the real thing but they definitely have differences.

Pattern of C’s

In real Coach bags you will always see the two C’s next to each other in doubles. C’s are never in single row or overlapping each other.One more thing about the C’s- If your bag is authentic, the C pattern will match up correctly so that the C’s on one side of the seam look like a mirror image of the C’s on the opposite of the seam.

Any other letter other than C like G OR O used as an signature style, tells you the bag is fake.

Neat Stitching

Real Coach bags have beautiful finish and hence, don’t have those broken uneven stitches, they even have beautiful stitches at the joining. If you find jagged stitching on your handbag it is not a Coach.

Zippers

Coach always uses YKK zips and if zip is from any other cheap brand, your bag is definitely not a Coach. Identifying a fake Coach handbag is not at all tough if we pay little attention to the details of the bag.

Serial Numbers

The interior serial number should start with “No”, the abbreviation for number, and have 4 numbers after the dash, not 3. Serial number can be a great identification and answer to the question like how to spot a fake Coach bag.

Authentic Creed Patch

This tag tells you about the authenticity of the bag, leather should be properly stitched and embossed letters should be clearly visible. The whole paragraph is being done in English uppercase letters.

Leather Tag

Leather tag hanging at front of the bag should be made up of good quality leather and tucked properly. Leather Tags are never of plastic or cheap hardwares.

Lining

If Your Coach handbag have signature pattern outside it will never have the same pattern inside as a lining because lining will always be plain in that case. “classic favorites” style bags do not have a lining at all.
Check for suede or cotton fabric linings inside the handbag. If you see polyester or plastic-looking fabric inside the handbag, it is not an authentic Coach.

Coach Fixtures

Genuine Coach handbags have the logo stamped on most of the fixtures. Coach use best quality hardwares for its handbags so any cheap material used is definitely not a Coach.

Too Good To Be Real

If the prices are too good to be real never go for that handbag, probably it can be a fake. Coach is a luxury brand and never comes very cheap.

Dust Bags

Real Coach bags always come with  dust bag which is chocolate brown dust bag with red stitching along the outer seams of the bag.The words “Coach EST 1941″ in white is always printed on these dust bags. If you find fake dust bag, there  might be possibility of fake Coach handbag too.
