CoachPASS [I. [PASS]] is a simple acronym for a quick Coach inspection that can be executed in under a minute. This is not a final word test. It is more of a fundamental guideline [test]. This means that if the Coach handbag passes the test, it does not conclusively confirm that the handbag is authentic. However, if the Coach handbag does not pass the test, it should indicate that it is an imposter handbag. This test will weed out many of the imposter bags, and it will help minimize the time spent inspecting the handbags. If the Coach handbag passes this 60 second test, then more detailed scrutiny should always be applied before purchase. [[P][A][S][S]] 1:[P]attern 2:[A]-point 3:[S]titching 4:[S]equence Starting with [P] [[P]attern] This refers to the Coach monogram logo double [CC] pattern. A quick check on this should be done first, by inspecting the Coach double CC pattern for uneven, slanted, irregular or asymmetric design. The Coach Monogram pattern should not be stitched over in the center of the handbag; it should not slant (starting higher up on one end of the pattern line and dipping down as it goes across the bag). It should be mirror like from one side of the bag when compared to the same spot on the opposite side. This is shown in more detail in our imposter Coach guide. Testing time: This should take about 15-25 seconds. [[A]-point] This refers to the letter [A] in Coach on the hangtag, label etc. A quick check of all the A’s on the handbag should reveal a pointed top, not a flat top. Authentic Coach will always have a pointed "A". Fakes may have a flat top A. Testing time: This quick check can take about 8-10 seconds. [[S]titching] This refers to the stitch lines inside and outside the Coach handbag. The stitch lines must be neat, orderly, straight and the same distance from the edge of the bag or the pattern consistently. A quick check of the stitch lines inside and outside will reveal sloppy stitching if the bag is a modest fake. Remember, the counterfeiters will take the most time with everything on the outside of the bag, so often times it will be the inside of the handbag where the sloppy rush job will be evidenced. Testing time: This check may take 20 seconds. [[S]equence] This refers to the date code on the label. All pre-1994 will have the date in the center of the first set of numbers (y=number). Such that [y3y] will be 1993. All 1994 and up labels will have the same format but a letter (x=alpha-numeric), whereas X5X would be 1995. In 2004 a fourth character was added, such that x04x is 2004 (and so on). A quick sequence check will alert you to an incorrect year or an inconsistant story. If someone says “brand new Coach,” but the sequence on the label says x03x, something is wrong. Testing time: This check should take 5 seconds. Total time: CoachPass ≤ 1 minute So utilize the PASS system to weed out the modest and poor imposter handbags quickly. And when a bag does PASS the test, remember, that is just the first stage. More detail is always recommended before purchasing. Good luck and safe shopping! [ebay] Buy Coach Merchandise Credits and Save!
