Tips On Checking Authenticity of Coach Bags

Here are some of the tips that you can use to check the authenticity of Coach products.

Prints

• Symmetry - All signature C's should be identical in size and in perfect symmetry. Exceptions: Scarf Prints, Optic Prints, Ikat Prints, Inlaid Patchwork and Poppy series.
• Mirror image - Both sides of the bag/wristlet will look exactly the same. All the signature C's will be lined up perfectly
• Perfectly centred. Never off-centred for Signature print.
• It should look like a 'C' and never 'G' or 'O'
• Prints on the outside and NEVER inside

YKK Zips

• Coach uses only high quality YKK zips
• The alphabets 'YKK' can be seen on the zip itself unless the zip has a leather pull
• The zip should be sturdy, not flimsy

 

Hand Tags

• The 'A' must always be pointed at the top. The pointed top of the 'A' should never flat or rounded.
• The punch hole should fit perfectly and not a gaping hole.
• The stitching must be precisely aligned and neat. Fake hangtags will have uneven stitching and rounded edges.
• The word "Coach
• Leather Creed
• Made of cowhide leather.
• There should be a 5-digit serial number. Those with the "F" preceding the 5-digit serial number denotes Coach Factory Outlet model.
• The stitching should be neat and perfect.
• The words should be clearly printed, without any grammar mistakes should be embossed neatly and not printed.

Leather Creed

• Made of cowhide leather.
• There should be a 5-digit serial number. Those with the "F" preceding the 5-digit serial number denotes Coach Factory Outlet model.
• The stitching should be neat and perfect.
• The words should be clearly printed, without any grammar mistakes.

Lining
Most current Coach bags have dashed satin lining without any signature prints. If the signature print bag has signature prints on its lining as well, it is probably a fake
Workmanship
Seams and hang tags are stitched and not glued for durability. All the stitching on Coach items are neat, consistent and precise.
Hardware
All metal hardware are of high quality. The word "Coach" is inscribed on the metal parts such as snaps, buttons and O-rings.
