I respect the fact that you don't sell counterfeit. I run a reseller business and I will take something down in a heartbeat if I learn that it may be fake. I'm still learning how to authenticate vintage bags and I love sourcing and reselling Coach. I always come across them in my local secondhand stores and I always pick them up, but unfortunately I've purchased several fakes and didn't realize it until I did my research further.

I bought a LV messenger bag (2004/2007 era) at *condupcom* a few years ago. I took it to the LV store in my town last week to have it repaired. A store clerk inspected my bag and immediately told me that the bag was of excellent quality. She pulled a current bag out of inventory and compared the tags and I saw ZERO differences.

This is such a fantastic video. I watched it about four or five days ago, and I have already identified several, as in 5 to 7 bags that were counterfeit. Most of them were the top of the “A” in “Coach”, was the dead giveaway second, I would say the zipper markings were a biggie, next identifier was not all the hardware was marked Coach with the exception of the rings, and there was one ring that was not connected holding a metal coach tag to the zipper. Anyway, lots of great info really helped me out. Thank you

I just purchased a Coach Outlet Minetta bag and the creed doesn't include the manufacturer location and it doesn't have a white tag sewn in, but it's still legit. The patch is real leather and stitched the proper method where it's vertical on the left and right side. My style number matches exactly with what is shown on the coach outlet site, all hardware is embossed, stitching is perfect, zipper is smooth and any other indicators are accurate. There are sometimes exceptions to the rule, which make it a little more confusing to figure out.

Hi Rachel, I am new to coach and just couldn’t pass up the large bag I found at Salvation Army thrift store in my town. I had just said last week that I was looking for a large, RED, leather, “mom” bag for under $20 so when I found this one for $19 I really didn’t care if it was a fake lol. But curiosity got the better of me, and I’ve been researching a ton. Thank you so much for your video - it’s by far the best one I’ve seen! So many people contradict one another that it makes it hard, especially since I don’t know when my bag was made. Pre ‘94 or post - 🤷🏻♀️ It’s a large Julia but I see some inconsistencies- no YKK anywhere on the zipper, but “coach” stamped on the studs. Some of my bag details seem to line up; others don’t. I can’t seem to find the style number 14967 in red anywhere on google. Any idea if Julia was made in red? Or if I bought a good knock off?

Thanks for all this great information! I learned a lot. I recently bought a beautiful black leather Madison/Phoebe. The small zipper pull on the inside pocket doesn't have the YKK metal pull. It's leather, but on the metal part, it has a 3 above a C. (I had to use a magnifying glass to see it!) The only large zipper pull is a leather loop. The hang tags are attached with a ball chain, but has no place to open and remove. the tags. They are placed together between 2 larger balls. They can't be separated. I don't have any doubts of it's authenticity (I could be wrong, but I love it anyway!) but I have never seen Coach tags like that. It does not have a tag in the inside pocket as my pervious Madison did. Is that a concern? There is a small clear plastic tag next to that pocket that says "Made in China." Thanks again!!

Sorry I do not know the style name of the bag but it has no creed but what it does have is where the creed would be it says First Edition!?!? I tore the internet up trying to find a coach that says First edition with no luck. I almost put it in my donate pile until I watched this video, the bag has everything you talked about zipper, no lining on the inside, has the point on the A and so on. Could I please get your opinion or have you ever seen first edition on the inside of any coach bag? I find it strange that all of the other vintage bags are real and this only one a fake.

Hey. Seems like the indicators of fake Coach bags are endless. A few months ago, I picked up a “Coach Flight Bag in Mahogany Leather with Brass Hardware, Style No. 0597” at Goodwill for $20. It appear to be absolutely new, though according to the coded numbers in the Creed, made in September of 1998, which seems dubious, but it’s developed a fold of the bottom like it’s been stored flat in a box for 24 years. So far, it’s passed every authentication test I’ve give it. Thanks for giving me a few more.

After this, I feel pretty confident that one is fake and one is real. The only thing I still feel kind of sketchy about with the real one is the whole zipper thing. The leather tab on the zipper pull isn't stamped (it's a clutch, so...is that normal with the small ones?), and the base of the pull says 'Ideal' and '2'. Does that mean anything? Otherwise, it looks good. Good stitching, proper 'A', proper whip, inner tag with an ID number, all of that.

I was REALLY excited to discover this video BUT THEN REALLY disappointed once viewing. I wanted some useful, detailed information about VINTAGE COACH BAGS---WHAT to look for: info/details on the CREED, materials for BUCKLES, ZIPPERS, SEAMS, TAGS, etc. This video was a little "all over the place", with A LOT of unhelpful comments AND MOSTLY non-vintage/more modern fabric COACH bags. I appreciate the intention, BUT this video is far from hitting the mark of what info the viewer had been told would be shared. Quite frankly---I'm confused.

Thanks for this great info! I have a question about a Coach bag I bought at Goodwill. It feels like good leather, has the pointed As in Coach, etc. it also has the creed with perfect spelling. But the serial number has me thinking sketchy. It starts out like a number, but quickly fades so that you can’t read it. Can I send you pix to get your two cents?

Rachel, I message you a few pix of the bag to instagram! Take a look, let me know if you need any more of the off-white bag in question. I’m also going to send a couple of pic of a fab find for 6.99! I’ve washed it and think I’m going to have to keep it!

Hi Donna, Thanks for your helpful hints. Do you also find that the lining of a coach bag is not attached? This makes it easy to lift out and clean! I’m trying to authenticate a bag on purchased on eBay?

I guess I've never noticed that. Interesting. Most of my collection is the vintage unlined leather -Rachel

I can't believe a Coach bag that has a "made in China" label! I wouldn't buy one with that tag.

There are a lot of designer brands who manufacture in China now. I wish we could know it was ethically produced products at fair wages.

@@RachelStrickland I like ethically produced products at a far wage for Americans when it's supposed to be made in USA. I have been buying Coach for many years good thing I never saw a made in China tag. Poor Chinese people can't afford these bags. That's the cause to fight to fight for! Not more Coach bags feeding and making their lives better.

Vintage Unlined Coach bags made of tumble dyed leather, are made to be wash to clean. I am spent time in the original factory in NYC in the early 70’s when I started buying their bags. I regularly sent my bags in for repair and restoration. They also had a lifetime registration of bag owners. One time I had a fountain ink pen leak and it soaked into the leather. In horror I called the factory, and told them what happened. Do you know what they told me to do? GIVE IT A BATH and RINSE THE HADES OUT OF IT! I used ivory dish soap at the time. Then treat it with Lexol and polish it out once dry. That was 45 years ago. I’m still carrying that bag and it still looks new. So what was your problem with this? If you need to touch up corner wear use leather dyes not polishes to repair.
