Fake Coach Part One

  In this guide we have illustrated some details about on ebay and other domains that will help you weed out the fakes. This is in no way a conclusive or complete guide to every detail about Coach, but it has enough information to highly increase you chances of spotting the fake Coach handbags. Combining some of these brand specific points with the universal tells we have listed should help keep you insulated from many of the fake Coach handbags in the open market.
Note: Many of the images we show to highlight a specific tell, also have another tell within the same photo. When this occurs we will try to point out the secondary tell also. However, on occasion we may miss some of the secondary tells in the photos. So we encourage you the reader to inspect the images for other tells to help increase your spotting skills.
We recommmend that you read our tutorial Spot Fake Handbags first, to learn the universal tips essential to build a foundation for spotting fake handbag tells. Then reinforce that foundation with the brand specific tells we highlight here.

  As we get more details we will add them. Also, if you the reader have anything else to add, please email it to us, we will be glad to add it to the site: info@spotfakehandbags.com. If we use your tip we will refrence you and add your web/blog link if applicable.

Disclaimer: Up until 2002 roughly 75% of as seen on ebay and in other venues were manufactured in the US (example in our "Coach labels" section"). Now, most are assembled in China. Coach is not a premier designer. They are not like Chanel, Fendi, Balenciaga etc. Authentic brand new Coach handbags will often times sell for less than the amount of a fake Louis Vuitton. Becasue of this, and along with the various factories that Coach utilizes, Coach handbags do not adhere to a specific set of rules. A specific detail that one authentic Coach handbag may have, another Coach bag may not. Also, Coach has outlets, their bags are discounted and some may even have minor imperfections. Add to all of this the high demand for Coach, and we have the perfect storm of counterfeiting. However, there are some details that Coach will not have on their handbags. In this guide we try to illustrate some of them. Coach is difficult. But we can give you a fighting chance. For a speedy system, try our Coach PASS system.

 1. Logo patterns: The simplest way in determining authenticity would be examining the layout of the signature C’s. The Coach C’s should be lined up perfectly to the center. However, it is not uncommon for the mini-signature C collections to be off by tiny bit only on the sides.

Note: The signature style for Coach will always be the two C’s next to each other in doubles, not in a single row of C’s.

[12/28/09] Below is an image of an off-center Coach logo pattern:
Note: The Coach logo pattern is not centered on the bag. Also, notice the hangtag, it does not have a metal grommet (more info on metal grommets later). This does not always mean the bag is fake, but if the bag is fairly new, this is something that should give rise to caution (details on dating Coach bags, hangtags and grommets later).









2. Model and style: If the bag doens't resemble one that coach would produce, then chances are it’s a replica.

3. Font: This is an easy one. If the pattern is not the famous Coach signature C, but something different like an O or a G then it’s an obvious fake.
