It is not always easy to spot a fake Coach handbag. Fakes are becoming closer to the real deal, but there are some things to look for that will tell you if the bag in question is an imitation or the real Coach. Today we would like to share some information for the Coach bag!

There are some points that you should be alert when you want to buy a Coach handbag.

1-THE ICONIC C PATTERN

Coach uses signature Cs in their design. Fakes often use Gs or Os. The iconic C pattern should be neatly aligned. Coach Cs are always in pairs and they are facing each other.

If you have seen a Coach bag that has singular Cs, please don’t trust. It is a fake Coach.

2-THE LINING

A quick way to spot an authentic Coach bag is simply by looking at the lining. On the real Coach, the lining is usually solid and made out of quality cotton, satin or canvas.

3-SERIAL NUMBER

Coach bags usually come with a creed patch on the inside. For smaller bags and wallets, the creed patch is usually absent. Creed patches contain serial number. It’s perfectly centered, always stitched onto the bag, and never glued on.

The serial number that starts out with a letter followed by four numbers, a dash, and more numbers. The letter corresponds to the month it was made (A – January, B – February, etc.), followed by two digits referring to its make year, then two digits referring to its place of manufacture.

The last set of digits is the style code. When buying from a factory outlet, you can usually spot the letter F right before the style code.

4-THE ZIPPER

Authentic Coach handbags should have the letters “YKK” on the zipper pull. Some may be found on the interior zipper but if it does not have that somewhere on the zipper, it’s most likely a fake.

5-STITCHING

An authentic COACH bag has good stitching. All stitches are uniform whether it double stitches or single stitches. Inconsistent thin stitching shows that it is a fake Coach handbag.
