How To Spot A Fake Coach Handbag


There is no worse feeling than finding out your recent handbag bargain purchase turned out to be a fake Coach Handbag. Even a popular department store recently came under fire for stocking replica Coach Handbags. To help you avoid making a mistake, I have some tips I would like to share with you to show you how to spot a fake coach handbag.

Handbag materials

The leather used to produce Coach Handbags is difficult to manufacture, and thus, a rather expensive material. Most of the fake Coach Handbags tend to be made out of cloth and have leather trim. However, many times the leather trim is very poor quality or may actually be leatherette or vinyl.

Stitching Quality

The craftspeople at Coach take great pride in their work and would never allow a poorly constructed handbag leave the factory. Seams on an authentic Coach handbag are always straight and never show loose threads.

Signature C

The signature C logo on an authentic Coach Handbag is matched up properly when the the Signature C is over a seam. On the fake bags, they do not spend the time to match up the fabric so the Signature C located over a seam is always malformed.

Also, on Coach Handbags with the Signature C printed on the exterior of the Handbag, the handbags interior liner will be blank. On Authentic Coach handbags with no Signature C pattern on the exterior, the interior liner will be printed with the Signature C. If you find a Coach handbag done differently, it is a fake.

Quantity Available

Coach Handbags take time to manufacture by hand, and thus, very few are produced. If you find a seller with a large quantity of an identical Coach handbag, it is probably a fake. Nearly all auctions for Authentic Coach handbags are for single items.

These tips are but a few suggestions to help you out. If you would like additional information, I would highly recommend you take a look at this resource which lists independent reviews from both eBay buyers and sellers regarding the authentication of genuine Coach Handbags & accessories.
