Coach imposters and fakes are easy to spot when you know how. Here are eleven warning signs that you are about to purchase a fake or imposter:
HOT! 11 ways to determine the authenticity of a Coach item:
1. Plastic wrap over the bag straps, or any part of the bag, wallet or accessory, Zipper pulls and other Coach hardware occasionally might be wrapped with plain packing paper or sponge wrap, but never plastic wrap.
2. Imposters frequently glue their leather seams and trim before stitching. Any glue residue or tackiness on the leather is an indicating of a fake.
3. Feel the hardware (pulls, zippers,latches) Hardware that has the weight and feel of plastic, but appears to be polished nickel is an imposter . Tell the difference between actual metal and metallic plastic by the density and weight.
4. Coach scarves are primarily silk, cotton, or wool (including blends) Rayon, cashmere, metallic threads, or scarves that are 100% polyester are imposters.
5. Coach hangtags have a smooth enamel surface with no raised letters. Raised lettering on the logo is a sign that it's a fake.
6. Signature style handbags should have a solid interior lining or a Coach lozenge logo lining, not a C pattern lining, However, two styles of the signature "wave" pattern have a signature C lining.
7. Coach embossed creed should also have a registration number and vice versa. A Coach creed typically provides information regarding origin and specifics of the hand crafting.
8. Watch for jumbled or misspelled wording on the Coach creed. Authentic Coach products have evenly spaced words that contain no spelling errors.
9. Coach key fobs sold in boxes with a code of JKRSL or "pavefob" JKRSL is not a Coach code and pavefob is a term describing crystals in a fob and is not stamped on authentic Coach boxes. Authentic Coach fobs aren't sold in custom branded boxes with UPC numbers and style names.
10. Beware of auction listings that include a Coach handbag with matching accessories, especially if the seller has several auctions with matching sets. Many counterfeit sellers and suppliers offer free matching accessories with the purchase of their Coach bags Imitation "sets" are plentiful at eBay.
11. Authentic Coach embossed logos are precisely aligned. If the logo is crooked or off center, it's likely an imposter.
