Each time I visit Coach, I personally select new items to include in my closet. I only purchase Coach DIRECTLY from Coach stores to ensure authenticity.
Over the years, I have become extremely familiar with how to spot fakes/replicas, thanks to the great information the Coach management team shares. Above are a few hints...
I will continue to update this posting to share any new info and I welcome any questions! Hugs, Aurora xoxo

@madori24 @ldk4 @lilyspring Thank you ladies for the positive feedback!!! Much appreciated & my pleasure :) Hugs, Aurora xoxo
michellecowensc
Did you hear about Coach changing their company name?! To Tapestry?? Any idea if that will affect their branding of these bags, and the Signature C pattern?!
aurora33180
@michellecowensc Hello! What a day...my mobile crashed this a.m. & I lost everything :( I re-downloaded the Poshmark app just a while ago & was so happy to see my items there...thank goodness it saves on their server!!! As for Coach, interesting choice for a new corporate umbrella name...but I would expect them to keep the Coach name for the leather goods/bags division and to continue with the "C" pattern. But who knows with companies these day LOL!
aurora33180
@michellecowensc How was your trip??? Hope you were able to avoid the chaos & relax? Just let me know when ready to purchase the wallet & I'll reduce the price :) Hugs, Aurora xoxo
michellecowensc
@aurora33180 LOL! I was thinking the same thing. As an accountant, that’s what would make sense most for a company like this. And OMG how horrible to have your phone crash!! I would’ve been freaking out! 😱😱
michellecowensc
@aurora33180 and OMG the trip was EPIC!!! We could see the festival site and the Mandalay Bay next door, but we didn’t let it get to us. We just went to the left toward New York New York and MGM Grand etc....was SO much fun!!! Totally spent all our money on food, drinks, and the penny slots, but we had soooooo much fun it was totally worth it! Ended up making $20 the last night, so that was fun 😆😅😂 gonna start saving my money for that gorgeous little wallet I need so badly 😆😍😘
aurora33180
@michellecowensc Yes, I was devastated...losing all photos, calendar items, etc. UGH! At least they recovered my contact list. Now I must start backing up to the cloud to avoid going thru that again! Your trip sounds fabulous...what amazing memories :) It is good to have little get-aways like that to keep life fun!!!
jes1red
Thank you! I just returned an "Authentic" COACH" bk to seller.With this info I was able To tell right away it wasn't real.Plastic covered leather and hardware.YKK zippers.such a shame people do this.
aurora33180
@jes1red Wonderful! I'm happy to help :) You are 100% right, Coach never covers leather with plastic! And zippers CAN be YKK brand...but not always...Coach now has several zipper brands they use :) And look for the logo on the small connector for the metal beads on hangtags...fakes often forget that detail! Just tag me if you'd like me to help "check out" a bag you find posted :) Hugs, Aurora xoxo
aurora33180
@jes1red Hi Jessica, I was thinking...if you let me now the style# or name plus the color of the fake you had purchased, I can see if I can find an authentic version of the exact one :) Have a great day, Aurora xoxo
jes1red
@aurora33180 thank you. I'll look it up and now
jes1red
F58282. I wish i would have written the # fromthe purse but I've already returned it. What i noticed right away was the ykk zippers and after reading your post i knew that was a sure sign it was a fake. As well as the top zipper pull was a metal pull instead of the leather pull in the Coach pics. And since i told them I suspected it was a fake they told me to return the purse.
aurora33180
@jes1red OK, that a Zip Top Tote which is easy to find...did you like the Signature Jacquard (fabric) or the Signature Coated Canvas (water resistant) or the leather? And what color do you like for the body and the trim?
jes1red
@aurora33180 i like the coated canvas more. Im a little hard on my purses so the coated is much better for me. And i like that it keeps the shape better also.
aurora33180
@jes1red I hope my overview wasn't confusing above...just to clarify: the YKK zipper is indeed used by Coach, it is just not used on "ALL" bags...some have other branded zippers now. (I included that point as Coach used to use only YKK) The zipper pulls can be either leather or metal...if metal, it will be branded Coach. I have found lots of fakes on here so I'm compiling some photos to post next month showing real examples (w/o names) of what a fake looks like :)
aurora33180
@jes1red LOL, I feel the same! The coated canvas is SO easy to clean and more structured. I currently only have 2 colors in stock, but can get others if you'd like. I'll tag you on them fyi :)
jes1red
@aurora33180 ooooh! Ok 😂 I misunderstood then. I just wasnt convinced it was real. Everytime ive bought a Coach online it is always packaged with foam and sent in a Coach plastic bag. Im in no way as educated in spotting fakes as well as you are. It was the darker brown trim. I love the red trim as well. Im drawn to the deep red purses Coach puts out. I think the deeper reds are my fav.
jes1red
@aurora33180 great thank you so much
aurora33180
@jes1red Great! I'll keep an eye out for a deep red :) If you purchase directly from Coach online, you are absolutely correct...the leather handle will be wrapped in foam and the bag will usually come in a large plastic bag with the Coach logo. They don't use plastic on the leather handles as it can't "breathe". Also, always remove the paper stuffing inside if you store the bag for a time as the paper can dry out leather bags! Any questions, just let me know! :) Aurora xoxo
aurora33180
@loafersglory Here you are :) You can also look for the Coach logo on the "connector" of the beads holding the hangtag as seen above. When people say they received the Coach "as a gift", keep in mind no one can be sure where the person purchased it and there are many on-line sites selling fake Coach! Hope this helps a bit ;) Aurora xoxo
aurora33180
@lindak1953 Hi Linda, the 2nd and 3rd photos above show what you should look for as far as the Coach logo stamped on hardware.
aurora33180
@tesero2003 Hello Markana! Please review the info above to help you identify "fake" Coach bags. The bag you purchased this summer on Poshmark does not have the "C"s centered around the black strip that comes down the front, which is not a good sign :( You might also check to ensure the Coach logo is on the hardware. I'm trying to educate Poshers on what to look for so they only spend good money on authentic Coach items! Thanks for the likes & Happy Holidays...God bless, Aurora xoxo
tesero2003
@aurora33180 Thank you for this! I really appreciate it 😊
aurora33180
@tesero2003 You are VERY welcome!!! :)
aurora33180
@tesero2003 I noticed you "liked" a few of my Coach items If you like Coach, I invite you to join my notification list :) I'll tag you on each new Coach or MK items I post.

@pevans11 Hi Paula, here's some helpful info! I'm not an expert, but there are many basic things to look for in an authentic Coach that will help you :)
aurora33180
@tt4me Hello! I saw your question in another Posher's closet re how to determine Coach authenticity. They said to look for the serial number, but fakes can also have a serial number. Hopefully my info in this post will help you better understand what to look for :) Aurora xoxo
tt4me
Thank you. Very helpful.
aurora33180
@tt4me Welcome! :)
aurora33180
@krystele23 Here's a bit of info re Coach authenticity which may be useful to you!
brittkilluh
Would it be possible for me to tag you in the comments of a bag I’m considering? I just can’t tell if it’s authentic or not and I’m due to purchase in the morning so it’s making me crazy!
brittkilluh
@aurora33180
aurora33180
@brittkilluh Sure, then I'll comment here...authentic, fake, or not sure! :)
brittkilluh
@aurora33180 You’re an angel, thank you! Tagging you now!
aurora33180
@brittkilluh Welcome! I'm not able to zoom in enough to see the Coach stamp on the hardware, but based on the stitching and workmanship I am "leaning" toward authentic. I've never seen the metal hardware at the base of handles, but it could be an older style or retail. Maybe you could have her post a photo of the small white tag inside showing the style & serial number...that will tell us whether retail or outlet and what month it was made! But looking good so far :)
brittkilluh
@aurora33180 That’s a wonderful idea! I’ll leave her a comment requesting a photo of the inside tag and get back with you! I appreciate your help so much!! You’re bags are absolutely stunning and I’m hoping to be able to buy one next month 🤞🏻❤️
aurora33180
@brittkilluh Thank you 💕🤗💕 and you are welcome 🙏! It will be my pleasure to help you find a bag you love 💖 Sweet dreams, Aurora xoxo
brittkilluh
@aurora33180 she posted he serial number! Looks like it begins with C and from your post I know that F means factory so I’m not sure what C means lol!
aurora33180
@brittkilluh Caught me just before signing off LOL....An F "after" the hyphen would have meant Factory so this would be a retail bag based on the number (30402). The initial number C1473 means it was manufactured March (C=3rd month) of 2014. I'm not as experienced with retail bags so don't want to give a "for sure" answer here....but I will say NOTHING jumps out as an obvious fake! Sweet dreams, Aurora xoxo
aurora33180
@creyes1982 Cristina, I noticed you asked a posher on Jan 22nd if their brown & tan Coach wallet was authentic....it is NOT. At $30 you may not care, but wanted you to know! Hugs, Aurora xoxo
creyes1982
@aurora33180 thanks :) I knew it wasn’t:-/ but I wanted to ask her for a friend that she wanted to buy bit I really appreciate taking your time

aurora33180
@ashleylabarge Hi Ashley! I saw your question re authenticity on men's wallets....each wallet will have the same small white tag as pictured above inside the bill compartment stating the style# and serial#. Hope that helps :) Aurora xoxo
aurora33180
@ashleylabarge You are more than welcome :) Upon receipt, always check for the white tag prior to accepting. It is not a guarantee, but most fakes don't pay attention to details like that. Also check the reviews of the person you buy from as that may help as well. I hope you find a wallet your hubby loves! And if you find one you like in my closet, check with me prior to buying & I'll make sure you get the best price possible (I'm originally from WIS too!)....Hugs, Aurora xoxo

@ashleylabarge OMG :) I just saw your share explosion LOL...thanks so much!!! Coming back at 'cha now....Hugs, Aurora xoxo
aurora33180
@michelleleigh09 Hello Michelle! I ran across a Coach file bag listing today where you asked the Posher if the bag was purchased at Coach retail or Coach outlet...she answered "Macys". Although Coach uses the same beautiful leather regardless of selling location (only styles are different), her answer was unfortunately not correct. Her Coach tag began with "F" (Factory/outlet)....not sold at Macys. Hope this helps! Aurora xoxo
aurora33180
@mrramos Hi Melissa! I looked at the patent leather bag you purchased on Oct. I don't recognize it and wondered if you could tell me what the style# is on either the storypatch or the tiny white label inside (see above)? Just curious :) Thanks! Aurora xoxo
aurora33180
@pwolverton Hi Precious! I saw your note on another Posher's page that you are new and nervous about buying on this site. For Coach items, about are some tips on what to look for to ensure you purchase authentic Coach! Hope this helps :) Aurora xoxo
mrramos
@aurora33180 I can send you a picture of it if you’d like.
aurora33180
@mrramos That would be great! If you could text the label to 786 999 4892 :) I love learning about the past styles as I'm only familiar with the newer ones! Much appreciated...Aurora xoxo
aurora33180
@staforg Hi Stacey! I just saw the comments re the Ava tote with another Posher. She said it was purchased at a retail Coach store, but it is an outlet bag (style# begins with "F") so just a heads up. It is the same beautiful leather at either, however, so no worries there....it is high quality! Hugs, Aurora xoxo
aurora33180
@jillio1209 Hi Jill! Since you like Coach, just wanted to share this listing with you to help you know what to look for when buying Coach ;) Any questions, just ask! Aurora xoxo

@katiecat3086 Hi Kate! I noticed you recently purchased a Coach bag with a manufacture date of 2010. Just a heads up, you can usually find a brand new Coach bag at a similar cost and will get a 1 year warranty with a new bag :) Above is some additional info you may find useful! Happy poshing, Aurora xoxo

@chocol8eyes Hi Ashley! I remember seeing a message this past week where you were looking for a Coach plaid envelope wallet in either red or green? When at Coach yesterday, they were out of both in wallets, but they did have a red plaid WRISTLET! Not sure if interested, but tag me if you are & I'll hold for you when I post this weekend :) If not, no worries....I can sell! Hugs, Aurora xoxo
chocol8eyes
@aurora33180
Like stated on the listing that you must have seen, I am NOT looking for something “similar”
Please stop tagging me
aurora33180
@chocol8eyes Sorry to have bothered you Ashley! Since it was a limited release & is now almost sold out, I thought a wristlet would be an option better than no wallet. I certainly didn't mean to upset you :( I apologize & God bless, Aurora xoxo
aurora33180
@thearon Hi Theresa! Here's some good info on Coach authenticity details for you :) And thanks for referring your sister...much appreciated! Any questions, just let me know!

aurora33180
@danandmaloutuck Aw, you are very welcome :) Five years ago I had no idea how to tell the "good fakes" from authentic Coach and now that I am better equipped to do so, I am heartbroken to see people pay good money for those fakes.....knowledge is power and I thank you for your kind words!

@melanielynns You are very welcome!!! If you have favorite colors or items (turtles, etc?), or styles....just let me know! I have many regular customers I shop for & it would be easy to add items to the list as long as I'm at Coach anywhere LOL. And no commitment....I can always sell it or get a refund if you change your mind ;) Hugs, Aurora xoxo

@aurora33180 I am totally taking you up on this b/c I work so much that by the time I log into the sales, what I usually want is sold out? ugh! And I wanted that heart and bumblebee keychain and one tote and wristlet and no go :( Noticed some pricing on here is crazy, then saw yours and worth every dime! I might pick up a few keychains tonight - hehe :)
aurora33180
@melanielynns I saw the adorable bumblebee keychain last week at Coach!!! On my next visit I'll see if any are left :) I know what you mean about prices on here. If you see something you like in another closet on Posh, feel free to simply tag me (@aurora33180) on that listing and I'll know to see if I can get it for you at a better price ;)

dardar4j
Hello, I’m wondering if you could tell me who can authenticate 2 vintage Coach bags I found at a garage sale. These are unlined probably from the 90’s
aurora33180
@dardar4j Hi Darla! My Coach store "unofficially" recommends the use of the website "purseforum" where you can upload photos and/or info and the blog participants assist with all brands! Apparently they are quite good I've been told. Good luck, Aurora xoxo
dardar4j
@aurora33180 thanks so much for sharing your knowledge, and replying so fast. I will check them out.

@broadwayannie Hi J! Looks like we were neighbors ;) I lived in Aventura for 12 years until moving over to SW Florida! I miss it (esp the mall!)...it is pretty quiet over here LOL. I noticed you had asked a Posher the age of their Coach bag. Photo #6 above explains how to determine manufacturer date based on the serial# which ALL bags have either on the StoryPatch or the tiny white tag inside :) Any questions, just let me know! Hugs, Aurora xoxo

aurora33180
@penguincuddle07 Hello! Coach NEVER sells wholesale so it is not honest for any Posher to use a Coach "boutique/wholesale" tag. I informed Poshmark of this last year. Without actual photos, it is impossible to know whether an item is authentic or not so I would suggest asking the Posher to post actual pics. I'll also tag you on a listing I've created to help determine authenticity :) Hugs, Aurora xoxo
ricechristy0411
Thank you for helping with this information. I’m a big purse buyer on designer purses, I love purses and wallets. Big fan of Coach , Mk, Tory Burch. I usually buy purses from the outlets since I live close to Orlando and Tampa, but this information was very helpful also. Have a great day, and thank you again.

@lindavogel53. Hi Lynda! Just FYI in case this info is helpful 💕
lindavogel53
Does all coach handbags come with a hang tag.im interest in a snakeskin/python hand bags but it doesn't have a hang tag
aurora33180
@lindavogel53. Good question! There may be exceptions, but I believe most have one. I will ask when at Coach this week :) Hang tags can easily be removed or added so ensure the bag itself is authentic & buy if you love it...hangtag doesn't affect value much! xoxo
aurora33180
@lindavogel53. You may not care because you got such a good price, but the Coach Signature bag you purchased this month is not authentic...so many fakes on here :(
lindavogel53
@aurora33180
Oh no can I get a refund from poshmark
aurora33180
@lindavogel53. Poshmark should not allow fakes so I would ask them. If the seller is still on Posh, they should make an exception & approve the refund...it is the only way to stop people from selling fakes...they should be held accountable. Good luck!
lindavogel53
@aurora33180
I sent them a email so we will see..do u have any coach handbags n wallets for sale

Can u check my likes and tell me if they are real b4 I buy thank you
aurora33180
@lindavogel53. Check out my closet...I have lots of styles! And if you let me know your fav style & color & price you want to spend, I might be able to find it :) I primarily shop when Coach has sales to keep prices down.
aurora33180
@lindavogel53. I can't see your likes, but if you tag me on each I'll be happy to let you know IF I can tell....sometimes without close-ups it is difficult to tell.
lajaponesa1
😩bummer, I wish I had read this before I purchased a used “Coach” briefcase. Based on your information, what I got is a fake. I need your advice, is there anything I can do about this situation? I purchased it last Monday. Unfortunately, I’ll be out of the country for almost three weeks. ☹️
aurora33180
@lajaponesa1 Aw, I'm so sorry to hear that :( Remember my tips are for newer Coach items. I would recommend reaching out to Poshmark. It is illegal to sell fake merchandise so IF a seller did so here on Poshmark, hopefully PM will assist you in verification & then address the issue if necessary. They will certainly want to ensure any such sellers of fake merchandise are warned and/or removed to protect buyers! God bless, Aurora xoxo

@lajaponesa1 Ugh, I just checked out your purchase and you may right :( The seller also sold a fake brown Coach (an obvious fake). Some sellers don't even know the Coach they are selling is a fake if they didn't personally buy it. If that is the case, the seller may apologize & willingly refund you via Poshmark. Fortunately you didn't overpay and it appears to be real leather so worst case most people won't know if they don't check it out up close :) Good luck!
lajaponesa1
@aurora33180 Thanks for taking your time and checking out my purchase. As you mentioned, the material feels like genuine leather, not synthetic at all. After I return from my trip I’ll try to reach out to the seller.

Also, I have a wristlet I purchased over 10 years ago at a Coach outlet here in Michigan. Some of the hardware have the Coach print, but the tag inside only states “Made in China “. I seldom buy high end purses, it is obvious I have a lot to learn. Thanks again and have a wonderful Labor Day weekend. 😉🌼🌼🌼🌺🌺🌺
aurora33180
@lajaponesa1 Welcome! No worries on the China tag....Coach has factories in many countries. :) Safe travels & have a wonderful Labor Day weekend 🤗

@aurora33180 FINALLY!!! I LOVE that you posted all this!! Ever since I joined PM and posted a handful of wallets and a purse, I've noticed other's listings. The boutique thing....UGH. I, too, get the invites to the outlet sales, so when I see someone selling an outlet wallet for $200, I cringe. I've even seen people selling a Lexy calling it an Edie!! I know we're all here to make money, but we don't have to rip people off while doing it. Your honesty is so refreshing!!
kb_collection
OH, I just had one suggestion to add to tips....It's the rule about if there are the Signature C's on the outside, they will never be on the inside and vice versa. Also, I meant to say in my comment above-Your prices are AWESOME!!
aurora33180
@kb_collection. Thanks so much Becca for your kind words! 💕🤗💕 I totally agree & wish everyone was honest...I am always sad when I see inflated prices & fake bags :( You are correct re the "C" lining...I summarized it as "rare to see" since Coach does have a few older styles that broke this rule. Much appreciated & sending a big hug 🤗 Aurora xoxo
kb_collection
@aurora33180 Big hug right back at ya!!! I've been meaning to leave you a comment for nearly two days and just got busy photographing more jewelry. But people like you and closets like yours need to be highlighted!!! Keep up the great work!!!

@crystall269 Hi Crystall! I see you've purchased a few Coach items on Posh so I wanted to share these tips with you...pay particular attention to the storypatch and how deeply embossed the writing is to ensure it does not "fade" over time. Hugs, Aurora xoxo

@arose15 Hi Aoife! I don't like to comment on the Coach items others sell, but I noticed you purchased a man's Coach item last Nov. Look for the Coach logo on the small metal nub/circle and pay particular attention to the font used for each letter of COACH on the embossed logo! God bless, Aurora xoxo

aurora33180
@jillian_di Hi Jillian! Before heading to bed, just wanted to share this info with you as I noticed you have purchased Coach items. Coach stamps the metal ring portion of the key ring with their "Coach" logo and the wallet will always have the small white tag inside a pocket (without the "F" if a retail item). Also take note of the fancy flairs of the font used on each end of the "C" in the Coach logo. These are tips to ensure authenticity ;) God bless, Aurora xoxo

@kellimg2000 Hi Kelli! I noticed back in Sept you asked a Posher about a bag you received in trade...you wondered why it does not have a serial #? If authentic, it will always have a serial #...if not on the storypatch, then on a small white tag (see above) sewn into the seam of an inside pocket, often the zipper one :) Check for it & you'll know the style# of your bag! Hope that helps...Hugs, Aurora xoxo

@kaylamarie1245 fyi :)
kaylamarie1245
What if it’s a reversible bag
aurora33180
@kaylamarie1245 The reversible bag I have has a matching pouch that has the serial# in big letters on the outside. If no pouch...good question! I'll ask the Coach manager when I go :)
kaylamarie1245
@aurora33180 I’m confused. I’ve found so many bags with pouches that L & H and then the year
aurora33180
@kaylamarie1245 Look at my post above....L is NOV and H is AUG!
kaylamarie1245
@aurora33180 got it lol
kaylamarie1245
@aurora33180 bare with me I’ll figure this out lol
aurora33180
@kaylamarie1245 No worries! LOL
kaylamarie1245
@aurora33180 this is super helpful.
aurora33180
@kaylamarie1245. In response to your question above, I asked the Coach manager today & she said I was correct that Reversible Totes ALWAYS come with a "pouch" that has the storypatch printed on it with the serial# & style#! 🤗
aurora33180
@ridinandlookin As a collector of Coach, you probably already know this...but thought I would share just in case! 🙏🤗
ridinandlookin
Awesome! Thanks for the important info.
aurora33180
@christa713. Hi Christa...If I may ask, did you purchase a Coach bag with bee on it a few days ago from a Posher for $150? If so, plz closely review the info above.....The seller may have received as gift & not be aware. 🙏 God bless
grammaoftwins
Thanks for putting this information. Some good guidelines have been shared. However, reading your article, I find a few statements made A bit confusing and I will disagree with them. I hope you don’t mind.
Coach zippers DO have the YKK on them and this DOES NOT make them fake Bags. Thank you for clarifying that.
grammaoftwins
NOT all bags have the Coach logo imprinted on the HARDWARE. I have several bags for sale, purchased by me at stores or outlets. I have the receipt for every purchase. This avoids issues but not everyone will do that.
It’s a shame that some people will try to pass fakes as authentic. Glad you put this together.
aurora33180
@grammaoftwins You are welcome 🌞. You may have misinterpreted what I wrote....not ALL bags have a YKK zipper- meaning Coach also uses other zipper brands now in addition to YKK.
aurora33180
@grammaoftwins. As for the hardware stamps....I indicated SELECT hardware, not all hardware. If you check your authentic bags, you will find at minimum the zipper will have it! And newer bags will ALSO have stamped logos on select metal "rings", etc 🤗 Any questions, just let me know 💖
aurora33180
@grammaoftwins. BTW, beautiful grandbabies! 🙏💞🙏
grammaoftwins
@aurora33180 absolutely! You as well. I appreciate good information so others can also learn. The newer bags do have several changes. I read above where buyer returned bag over the zipper. So knowing what was and can be is the key.
aurora33180
@grammaoftwins. I agree! 💞 I will also be posting pics of "fake" Coach I see so Poshers know what to look for!!! Many thanks for supporting authenticity 🙏💖🙏
grammaoftwins
@aurora33180 great idea! You are welcome

@___karen___ Hi Karen! I noticed you asked the Posher for the style # of the Coach wallet you recently purchased....you will find it on a little white tag Coach puts inside each wallet...usually in the bottom corner of the bill section :) Hugs, Aurora xoxo
aurora33180
@universaltruck1. Hi Linda! It looks real from the pics....if no patch, you will find a small white tag inside a corner of the inside pocket....that will confirm the style# if real or a good fake!
aurora33180
@universaltruck1 Ugh! YYK aren't always used, Coach has other manufacturers. now too....but there should be a patch or small white tag (usually inside bottom corner of a pocket inside) in the bag you purchased from that Posher 🤔 No exceptions that I know of!
aurora33180
@joekmd Hi Joe! I just saw your posting on another Posher's page from a few months ago asking how to tell if a Coach item is authentic...hope this helps! 🤗 Hugs, Aurora

aurora33180
@hopelloyd1819 Hello! I noticed the creed for the bag you are ISO has a "puffy" stamped look rather than the crisp, embossed look (see examples above) so be sure to keep an eye out for the stamped Coach logo on hardware, etc. when you find your bag to double-check authenticity! The serial# used reflects "made in 2013" if that helps :) Good luck! Hugs, Aurora xoxo
hopelloyd1918
@aurora33180 thank you

@hopelloyd1819. 🤗
aurora33180
@hopelloyd1819 I've been trying to leave a quote "just fyi", but the system won't let me so whenever ready, if interested, just re-bundle & I'll quote! I have lots of the key chains in stock, but only 1 checkbook in that color and only 1 matching card case. If they sell by then, I do have another "all" red checkbook in stock, but a different shade of red so no matching card case. Have a wonderful evening :) Hugs, Aurora xoxo

christinej19711
@aurora33180 aurora33180 omg thank you!! I bought another Coach purse off of another auction type website - now I’m freaking cause idk if it’s an authentic coach. The embossed patch looks legit but I can’t find that little in seam tag. Are they on all Coach’s? I looked at my Coach bags I purchased direct from Coach store and two had the tag and one did not. Hmmm if I post a pic of the patch do you think you can tell if it is legit ?
aurora33180
@christinej19711 Post it & tag me! I'll see if I can tell :) If the style# IS on the patch, it won't have the seam tag. Some patches have the "story", but not the style/serial# on it, in which case there WILL be a tiny white tag with that info on it ;)

@aurora33180 that’s great news! I tried to buy it when it was online but I missed the window and I found it on here but I’ve never bought coach from this site or any place other than the store so I wanted to be sure so I didn’t get burned! It’s a shame it’s something we even need to worry about really!! Thanks so much again!
aurora33180
@bcveley31 My pleasure 🙏 It is lovely, enjoy! And you are smart to be careful...lots of fakes out there :( If no storypatch, yours will have the tiny white tag inside as described above for final confirmation upon receipt 🤗 Enjoy!!! 💕

Have you come across any fake Coach keychains? I think I have that do not have the “weight” it should have.. please lmk thanks 😊
aurora33180
@nvsunshine I have seen a few on here that do not appear authentic. The most common thing I find on fakes is the lack of the engraved/imprinted Coach logo on the round metal ring. If you post it tomorrow & tag me, I can see if I can tell? 🙏🤗🙏
nvsunshine

Hello! I have a coach bag that I’m selling that I’ve done a lot of research on and am fairly certain is real, however now I’m second guessing myself and I was wondering if you could take a glance at it?
