Know how a Coach bag is supposed to look. The “C”s will be the only letter on the bag. There are bags out there with different letters such as “O” or “G”. Coach will only have the “C”. The “C”s will be in a pattern and side by side pairs will face each other. The tips of the “C”s will be touching. The “C” pattern will not end in the middle of the bag. The only place this pattern will end is at the sides of the bag. Make sure the pattern is lined up and uniform. Nothing is to be crooked.

Inside the bag will be a serial number. The serial number is made up of letters and number and will be embossed onto a leather patch that is stitched into the inside of the bag. Coach only uses certain zippers and those are by YKK. Check the zipper to make sure the letters YKK are on it. If not, the bag is a fake.

Every Coach purse will have a logo tag. These tags are made of 2 pieces of leather stitched together with the word Coach on it. The letters in Coach will be raised. This logo tag will be attached to the bag by a looped chain.
