COACH HARDWARE GUIDE

(Part 2 of 2)

NOTE: THIS GUIDE DOES NOT COVER THE SLIM CARLY HANDBAGS!

Let me give you some examples of FAKES to compare to the REAL hardware on COACH handbags.  I own a few different fabrics, colors and sizes of COACH like the CARLY as well as some other COACH styles. 

I also visit the COACH store every quarter, just to see what the new styles are like as well as get the latest Catalogs via mail.  I hate to see people being scammed on ebay by these Sellers.  There are some POWERSELLERS selling FAKES. BUYER BEWARE!

What to look for in the HARDWARE:

1.  Look at the strap on the CARLY for example.  Look at the Shape of the sliding Leather strap support, if it is a perfect rectangle.  It is a FAKE.  If the side turnlock Closure on the CARLY bag has the COACH name stamped.  It is a FAKE. If the hardware is TOO SHINY it is FAKE.  COACH BRASS is not polished to a shiny sheen.

FAKE HARDWARE and STRAPS

REAL HARDWARE and STRAPS

ALL Coach bags have a Coach registration number. Small Pieces will not usually have a Serial Number and are too small for a Creed patch. The first few alpha-numerics are the factory code and date  the style was produced, the last alpha-numerics are the style/model number.  

ALL Coach Handbags are Guaranteed for the Natural Life of the Product which is 7 Years!
