4 Ways to Spot a Fake Coach Bag by Stitching

Check the stitching consistency Real Coach bags have straight, evenly spaced stitches. If you see wonky lines, loose threads, or skipped stitches, it is counterfeit.

Look at the C pattern alignment The signature Cs should line up perfectly across seams. If the pattern does not match at the edges, the bag is fake.

Examine the hardware weight Real Coach uses solid brass or zinc hardware that feels heavy. Counterfeit hardware feels hollow and cheap.

Inspect the inner tag and leather smell Authentic bags have a serial number stamped into the inner tag, not printed. Real leather has a distinct smell, while vinyl does not.
