7. Lining: If the outside of the bag has the CC pattern, the lining will not have any pattern. If the outside of the bag does not have the CC pattern, the lining will most likely have the CC pattern (although sometimes neither the outside nor the inside will have the CC pattern). You will NEVER see a bag with the CC pattern on the outside AND the inside. This is a fake Coach handbag. Also, the "classic favorites" style bags do not have a lining at all. [Note]: Legacy bags have a the same multi-colored striped silk lining, no matter what the exterior color or pattern is. Further lining notes:
8. Seams: Authentic Coach handbag interiors and authenticity tags should never be glued but neatly stitched on. If the stitching is of poor quality, by being raised in some areas, or if you see the string knot then it may be a fake. Below is an image of poor seam/stitch line: 
9. Snaps/buttons/hardware: Many Coach buttons have their logo stamped on them. But not all models do. Image of Coach logo on an authentic Coach snap: 
O-rings: If the bag or accessory has any O-Rings they will be continuous circles and high quality. There will be no break in the circle and should not spin. If the strap has a key hook on it it will be the same color and the same size as the O-Ring. Fake Coach O-Rings may spin and the gap is visible, where the metal had been pinched together. Also, the metal may be plated to look like brass. Real Coach hardware is made of actual brass or heavy duty metal (more on gold metal hardware later). Below is an image of an authentic Coach O-Ring: [Note]: Thers is no gap in the ring and it is secured to the link. This O-Ring lost its zipper pull, which actually helps make the point due to the ability to view all 360 degrees of the ring. 
Below are two images of fake Coach O-Rings's. [Note]: Notice the gap in the ring where it was cheaply pinched together. Also the ring is not secured and can spin freely 360 degrees. 
Harware: Hardware/metal accents should not appear too shiny and cheap. There should be a slight aged look to the metal. Below is an image of authentic Coach gold hardware:

10. Dust bags: Authentic Coach dust bags should be dark chocolate brown with a red drawstring. In the bottom right the words in all caps "COACH EST.1941?" written in white. Coach does not use cheap material to make their dustbags. A flimsy, cheaply made dustbag is a good indicator the bag is fake. Image of authentic Coach dustbags:
