How to Spot a Fake Coach Bag

There are a LOT of fake Coach bags crawling the internet, BUT if you can spot a fake you can also spot a good deal.  Watch the video for some quick tips (btw the video was made over two years ago, new bags have come out but the same principles are still there) and then read further down for even more




Bottom Line:

If the bag was never ever made then its fake
If the bag doesn't have the Coach Creed inside its fake (only small wristlets don't have the creed)
Bags with an X, F, or O marked on the inside on the creed were originally from Nordstrom's or Macy's and were sold to a place like TJ Maxx or Marshalls...they are real
The old signature C's will usually match up (exceptions would be the Ergo, which many Coach fans don't like about the Ergo or other newer designs)
Coach outlets have killer deals, watch out for ebay sellers that overprice an authentic bag

How to Spot a Fake Louis Vuitton

Ever wonder if that deal on that super cute Vuitton bag is too good to be true?  Watch this video before buying just to get a few quick tips on spotting a real LV.




Bottom line:

LV does NOT come with the little greenish envelope or a tag that has a string with a circular LV tab on it.
Speedies don't have feet (even the multicolor doesn't have feet, it has brass edges)
LV sales associates do get a discount but those bags have something marked on the inside
Date Codes!  Everything made by Vuitton has one, you just have to find it.  I should do an individual blog on that one....
