Many buyers look for cheap Coach bags online or from street vendors because of the high prices of a store-bought bag.

Notice the pattern of the C's across the bag. The C's will be straight and lined perfectly across the bag. They also should line up to the center and not be sewn in a seam. If you notice the letters are crooked or they don't have the same pattern, it is probably a fake Coach bag. The bag also will not have any O's, G's or Q's.

Stitching on a genuine Coach bag will not have any flaws. Check the stitching all over the bag. The stitching should be straight, a consistent color and the same thickness. If you notice the stitching is uneven or loose, you probably have a fake Coach bag.
