Find and Report Counterfeit Coach

Coach has strengthened their name as a quality leather goods company in the past decade, and consumers are simply crazy about everything from their logoed purses to keychains. The problem with Coach knockoffs is as big as any other at present, and it's good to stay aware of a few things that make Coach products so special.

• Know your abCs: The CC logo Coach has become famous for is done in a particular style on each bag. Beyond familiarizing yourself with the font of the C, remember that Coach takes pains to line up the Cs in the middle. See Bag Bliss' "How to Spot a Fake Coach Bag" for pictures of fakes vs. the real thing.
• Dust Bags: The dust bags for Coach products are a deep chocolate brown, with orange trim. We just love putting our wristlets back in their chic cases, and the flimsy white dust bags for copies do not compare.
• Glue vs. Stitching: Coach stitches all of their authenticity and logo tags in the interiors of their bags. Often, fakes have giveaway glue seeping outside the authenticity tags.

"I strongly advise against [fakes]," says online marketplace blogger JennyHow. "You would only be cheating yourself. As someone used to say, we are too poor to afford cheap products. The handbag knockoffs are not only visibly less elegant, they are also considerably less durable."
