How To Tell Real Coach From Fake Coach Merchandise.
How to tell fake coach.
Coach products are high quality merchandise that are usually quite
different looking from the plethora of fakes that have entered the
market in recent times. However, some of these counterfeits can be
rather convincing and will require closer examination. Since Coach
normally has certain product identifiers that are true with almost
every product, these are the type of things you need to look for first.
First,
if you are looking at a Coach purse, look for the serial number. Almost
all of the purses that are authentic Coach will have this. The serial
number is stamped on a small leather tag that is sewn on the purse
lining. This number will reflect the bag's style number and normally
has letters and numbers. Make sure the serial number is stamped into
the leather, not merely printed onto the leather. Some fakes will have
serial numbers, and if you notice that the serial number is not
actually stamped into the leather, is slightly crooked, or fills the
entire leather tag, you are likely looking at a counterfeit.
If
you have a Coach bag or clothing item with the signature "C" fabric,
closely examine those Cs. Make absolutely sure they are actually Cs and
not cleverly designed Gs. Also look closely at the construction of the
bag, shoes, or clothing item. Authentic Coach items are well
constructed and will not have mismatched seams. If the fabric is out of
alignment it is almost certain that the item is not genuine Coach
merchandise.
Compare the outside of the item and the inside.
When you have a Coach item that bears the "C" signature fabric, the
inside of it will not have the same pattern. If the outside has the
signature fabric the inside will be plain fabric, or it will be a type
of silk or cotton lining that does not bear the same signature. When
there is signature fabric on the outside and the inside, the item is
counterfeit.
Perhaps the most foolproof way to determine if your
Coach item is authentic is to use comparison. If you can visit a local
store where they sell the identical bag, and you know the store to
carry genuine merchandise, this is an excellent way to do a side by
side comparison. If this option is not available to you, try to locate
a high quality photo of the item on the Coach website or at a major
online retailer. Zoom in as much as possible, rotate the image, and
observe every detail as you compare your bag to the photo.
Your
own common sense may be the ultimate way to tell a fake from the real
thing. Real Coach items are very high quality, and simply holding these
pieces makes this easy to see. Always buy from trusted original
sources, do your research, and you will be assured of having genuine
Coach merchandise.
