INFORMATION YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT "COACH"

There are Many, Many Articles on the Internet, as well as Guides on Ebay about "SPOTTING FAKE OR KNOCK-OFF COACH" Merchandise.  We decided NOT to write another one, but to provide a different spin on information regarding "Coach" Merchandise.

The year was 1941.  In a New York City Loft, the founder of the "Coach" family business was inspired by a quintessential American Icon ~ The Baseball Glove ~ to create a legacy of his own.  To his eye, it's distinctive markings and deep glowing burnish held potential beyond its origins.  After defining the leather by making it soft, yet maintaining its strength, durability and character, the first "Coach" bag was created.  Six Artisans handcrafted the first "Coach" collection, consisting of only twelve bags, using skills and techniques that had been passed down from one generation to the next.  Each bag was perfectly proportioned with a timeless elegance and enduring appeal ~ A Classic was born!

*REPORTING COACH COUNTERFEIT* 

Combating counterfeiting of  Coach products is an important objective for Coach.  The counterfeiters illegally profit at the expense of Coach and affect the entire economy through lost revenues and taxes.  In addition, counterfeiters do not typically honor safety and environmental regulations, namely child labor and anti-sweatshop laws.  Without a doubt, the high quality and workmanship embodied in genuine Coach products is not duplicated in the counterfeir product ~ counterfeit quality is typically poor.  Coach DOES NOT offer it's merchandise for sale through individuals, street vendors, unauthorized retail locations, internet auctions, or at house parties.  The ONLY avenues in which Coach offers its merchandise for sale is via: 1) Coach Stores ~ 2) Coach Factory Stores ~ 3) Direct Coach Catalong Sales ~ 4) Authorized Department Stores ~ 5) Authorized Speciality Stors ~ 6) Limited duty free locations ~ 7) Corporate Accounts ~ 8) The Coach Website.  If you purchase a Coach item from an unauthorifzed source, such as an internet auction, Coach is not required to offer a determination regarding the item's authenticity.  Also, Coach will not provide specific tips on how to determine if an item is counterfeit.  As you can understand, counterfeiters could use this information to the detriment of Coach.  The only way to guarantee the authenticity of a Coach item is to purchase it via the avenues listed above.   

To report counterfeiters, please contact Coach to obtain the "Counterfeit Hotline" Phone Number.  Be ready to provide the information requested below to the "Counterfeir Hotline" at Coach if you wish, you may remain anonymous.  Please find below a list of the information that will assist Coach in taking action:
