How do you know when a Coach Handbag is authentic?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

The Monogram
One of the tips many skilled buyers take into consideration when purchasing Coach goods from somewhere other than a Coach retailer is the alignment of the monogrammed "C's". Although this technique may be difficult to apply to the patchwork handbags, the Coach signature "C" monogram is still included in some of the patches along the bags exterior. Do the "C's " line up? Luxury manufacturers like Coach take great pains to ensure the symmetry of their monogram. Counterfeiters, however, don't, and the alignment is often neglected and flawed.
The Interior
Coach bags are also heavy due to the luxury hardware and leather used. A Coach bag should also sport a quality interior. Unless you have been face to face several times with a Coach bag it will be difficult for you to determine the authenticity of the product by weight alone, but luxury goods are made with quality materials. Knowing how to tell an authentic Coach patchwork purse from a fake means knowing how to determine high quality metal hardware from coated plastic, and synthetic leather from genuine costly leather
