Coach shoes and handbags are designer items that are always of the highest quality. Due to their fine materials and fashionable designs, they tend to be somewhat expensive. This has led to a plethora of replica Coach boots and Coach heels on the market. Don’t be fooled into buying replica Coach shoes and bags. Yes, it may seem like you’re getting a deep discount, but you’re also not getting the real deal. There are ways to spot fake Coach bags and shoes.
First, you can search for the individual style names of Coach sneakers, shoes or bags on the official Coach website. Each shoe and bag has a number and a name that apply to each style. If any of the shoes you’ve found don’t have this information, ask the seller for it. If you can’t provide the style name or number, they are probably fake. You can also check the stitching of the Coach heels that you like the most. Real Coach shoes have clean, strong stitching. If you find crooked or flimsy-looking seams, the shoes are most likely fake.
If you’re shopping locally rather than online, you can check out the logo on Coach shoes or bags at a certain store or estate sale. All Coach bags or shoes must have the correct logo and also the signature letter C. Look closely, because even department stores like JC Penney and Kohl’s sell bags with G or O, instead. These are imitations. Also, if the letters C are off-center, cut at the seam, or if the rows of letters are not straight, then these are not true Coach products.
Next, feel the material of the Coach boots or bags. If they really are Coach products, you’ll only find premium suede, leather, or fabric in them. If the Coach shoes or bags you’re looking at have rigid or lightweight materials, they’re not discounted Coach products, they’re counterfeits. You can also check the buttons and buckles on the bags or shoes you are looking at. Genuine Coach shoes and bags have hardware made of gunmetal, nickel or brass, and are very solid. If the hardware looks cheap, it’s not a Coach product.
If you’re looking at what you think are Coach sneakers or shoes, check their soles. If there’s excess glue visible on the inside or outside, they’re almost certainly not Coach shoes, because they don’t have shoddy workmanship. Check the label on the shoe or bag of the item you are studying. Text on the label on Coach boots and bags is properly aligned, clear, and evenly spaced. If you see text that isn’t consistent, looks sloppy, or even contains typos, it’s discount replicas, not Coach products.
If you find shoes that say “Made in Korea,” they’re probably not Coach shoes. Shopping for Coach shoes at reputable department stores where the brand names are clear is a good way to ensure you’re buying the real deal and not an imitation. Because boots, shoes, and handbags are expensive, the originals are copied quite often and can be seen on the streets of New York City and other large cities with foot or tourist traffic to please. You can also see fake Coach heels at flea markets or swap meets, and they’re usually dirt cheap, and cheaply made, too. Unless you’re sure it’s real, if the price is low, the product probably wasn’t made by Coach.
