According to The Financial Times,   the US handbags and accessories group has taken \u201ca higher-profile approach than many of its competitors in fighting counterfeiting in China\u201d in order to keep the \u201cbrand\u2019s integrity intact.\u201d Despite their efforts, it\u2019s important to know how to tell a fake Coach bag from a real one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The New York Times reported in December 2018 that investigators had seized fake luxury goods worth half a billion dollars. The knockoff handbags included  GUCCI, TORY BURCH, HERMES, COACH, BURBERRY, MICHEAL KORS and LOUIS VUITTON<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check the 9 ways to tell the Coach bag is real!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Check the retailer<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coach does not sell products at flea markets, through street vendors, or in kiosks in malls. Please buy the Coach bag at the boutiques for the good warranty of the authenticity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Each handcrafted bag should exude quality<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coach prides itself on being a company that creates handcrafted bags. Established in 1941, the brand has held quality craftsmanship to the highest regard. The same is still true today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the first things you should check is the overall craftsmanship of the bag. A poorly made bag will have ill-fitting leather pieces that cause the product to bulk in areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check that the outer shell is made from high-quality leather material. Overall, it should smell and feel like genuine leather. If your bag is second hand, real leather will stand the test of time, growing beautiful aging marks such as tiny creases at the most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3.The stitching should be symmetrical<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When spotting counterfeit Coach bags, the difference between beautiful and sloppy stitching is a dead giveaway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While most Coach bags are now made in China \u2013 which is basically the motherland of counterfeits \u2013 Coach still prides itself on quality stitching that runs beautifully across their products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although Coach is by no means perfect in their stitching, the hiccups are minor compared to counterfeit ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fake Coach bags will have stitching that is blatantly bad with some stitches running over each other. The spacing between the stitching is also often uneven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. The hardware and tags should be made from quality materials<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coach hardware is usually made out of brass or nickel. A great way to tell whether your bag has quality hardware is to check its weight. Authentic hardware should feel solid and heavy, while the hardware on fake bags is light and made from cheap metals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your bag has rings connecting the handle to the body, check to see if the rings are solid and seamless. On rare occasions, Coach will have rings with seams but they are beautifully polished and aligned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be wary of Coach bags with plastic over the hardware. Counterfeit bag makers do this in order to prevent humidity from tarnishing the low-quality metal. Authentic hardware won\u2019t tarnish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check to see if the zipper snags. Real zippers should unzip easily. Also, Coach uses YKK and Ideal zippers so don\u2019t panic if you see these brands on the hardware.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coach tags are usually made out of leather hanging from a beaded chain. However, recent models have made use of metal tags as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. The iconic C pattern should be neatly aligned<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s a lot of talk behind the do\u2019s and dont\u2019s of the monograms but with Coach releasing different versions of the C\u2019s, it has become increasingly unclear what the standard is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two things are for sure: first, the C\u2019s have to be symmetrical, and second, they always follow a certain pattern. Whether printed or embroidered, the pattern should follow two C\u2019s facing each other, followed by two C\u2019s beside each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some claim C\u2019s that are cut off are perfectly aligned at the seams. Due to certain styles (like those having invisible zippers or diagonal darts), this has not been a consistent standard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6.  The lining is usually solid and made out of quality cotton, satin, or canvas<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A quick way to spot a fake Coach bag is simply by looking at the lining. When a Coach bag has C\u2019s outside, it will have a solid-colored lining.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Occasionally, vibrant linings are used for limited edition items. When the brand does use C\u2019s for the lining, it\u2019s a subtle dark-on-dark coloring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another good way of determining fakes is to look at the lining quality. Coach uses thick cotton, satin, or canvas to line the insides of their bags. If the lining is overly shiny or it reminds you of an 80\u2019s prom, chances are it\u2019s fake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. For most bags, the creed patch and serial number should be easily found<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regular sized Coach bags usually come with a creed patch on the inside. For smaller bags and wallets, the creed patch is usually absent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Creed patches contain a paragraph in all capital letters that actually make sense. Some fake creed patches look okay from afar but make no sense when you read them. Others will have a mix of upper and lower case text.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below the paragraph is a 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 \u2013 January, B \u2013 February, etc.), followed by two digits referring to its make year, then two digits referring to its place of manufacture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you don\u2019t find the serial numbers on your creed patch, don\u2019t panic. As of 2014, Coach stopped putting the numbers on the patches. Instead, they include them on little white labels that you can find inside the inner pocket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

8.  The dust bag and packaging should be consistent<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The dust bag should be white with the Coach logo on the bottom right. If the dust bag has the logo strewn in the middle, it\u2019s probably a fake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you order your purses through their website, the package comes with a letter explaining a little about Coach\u2019s history. It should be signed by Coach\u2019s president of retail. The official invoice should also be included inside the box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coach bags usually come in sheets of thin quality paper that has a gold sticker on it. The gold sticker should also have the Coach logo on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

9. The iconic horse and buggy logo should be tastefully detailed<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Coach logo differs depending on the line where the bag came from. Some have the words \u201cCoach New York\u201d underneath while some read \u201cCoach Leatherware Established 1941\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The iconic horse and buggy also differ in size. Usually for the older models, the horse and buggy are quite big compared to the newer ones. They should also be facing to the left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A good way to tell a fake is by looking at the details of the horse and buggy. The original will have a detailed, artful one (except for the line where they changed the horse into a dinosaur \u2013 true story) while the fakes will look sloppy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hopefully with this 9 points for the COACH bag will make you guys more easy to buy the Coach bags and know how to different the real or fake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
