- Check for the classic Coach "C"s. Fakes will often have "G"s to avoid being prosecuted if marketers are found selling them. The "C"s on the bag should appear in pairs. Side-by-side pairs also face each other.
- Check for a dustbag. Resellers may not always sell a purse with a dustbag, but if they do it should always be tan or brown with red stitching, with the Coach logo stamped on it
- The hardware should be heavy and not plated. It should not be able to be bent using your fingers
- Make sure the "C"s aren't cut off in the middle of the bag. The only "C"s that won't appear as complete letters will be those on the sides.
- .Most clasps should be imprinted with the "Coach" name. Check the specific line before writing off a fake at this step, as some types of Coach bags are no longer stamped.
- No parts of the bag will be glued. Any patchwork or embellishments will be stitched on, never glued.
- The inside should feature a square leather panel with the Coach creed on it. The lettering is pressed into the leather and the panel will be stitched, not glued. Also, check the spelling here. Many fakes feature misspelled words or improper grammar.
- Check the stitching. Coach does not use cheap thread, but many sellers do. Make sure there are no gaps in the stitching, no threads pulling and no flaws.
- The "Coach" tag should be secured to the bag using a looped chain. It should be made of two stitched together pieces of leather and not plastic or vinyl. The letters in "Coach" should be raised.
- Make sure the material on the strap is either leather or fabric, not plastic. If any part of it is peeling, its a sure sign that it's molded plastic.
- Check out the styles of Coach purses on their website. If the purse doesn't match one of these styles exactly, it's probably a fake. Coach only makes so many types at a time, and they typically will not make a purse in a color without listing it on their website. Also, the website will give you an idea of how different bag lines really look.
- Check out a seller's location. If they are shipping from overseas, have a poor feedback rating or are selling purses in large quantities, there is a very good chance the purse you're looking at is a knockoff. Most of all, trust your gut. If a deal sounds too good to be true, it probably
