Simple Quick guide about buying Coach Keychains

** This can easily help you prevent buying other fakes for other brands.  Basically work the same way!

Hello!  I am Shining_Polaris and I am basically a Coach and Dooney Bourke bag seller.  I also buy a lot of them for myself!  Recently for some reason so many foreign sellers are selling  bunch of FAKE Coach keychains! 

First of all NEVER NEVER buy anything from a foreign/overseas seller.  Just about everything that comes out of Asia is fake.  I have to say that!  It is!  They are very low quality and they are just bad to own. 

Be a smart consumer.  Know exactly what keychain you want to buy before going on Ebay.  Look through the COACH website or COACH catalog.  If you start searching for any keychain, this is where you can be scammed.  Coach only sell certain styles and colors.  If you see all of a sudden there are tons of (example) Coach DAISY Flower keychain in every color of the sun...that is a red flag.

EASY and obvious steps to spot fake Coach keychains:

1. Seller is overseas

2. Seller is selling TONS of Coach keychains at one time

3. Shipping is excessive - $15.00 for a keychain?

4. WRONG Designs - Coach does not make Hello Kitty chains...

 

I have some pictures here of a Fake Coach and a real Coach kaychain.  Somehow the pictures loaded badly...but you can just tell by the quality.  If you already bought it...check the Coach hangtag.  It is not made out of hard nickle/brass.  It is light and inferior material.  Seriously...you can bite it and it will break.  Or scratches very easily!

Fake - the Coach font isn't perfectly right...and the metal is very bad...you can see scratches on it already

 

This is real...the enamel is painted in perfect...it has Coach font on the star

Real Coach hangtag.  Font is right and the metal isnt cheap (The cheap ones have a lot of odd scratches on it already)

 

 

Just showing the thickness of a real one.  Again no hard scratches because it is good metal

 

 

Closer pic of a fake hangtag

This is fake.  You can see the scratches on it

***  I know my pics are here basically to help you sfter you buy.  But please follow those simple suggestions I have and it will prevent you from buying a fake Coach keychain!  I hope that can help!  Thank you!
