HOW TO AUTHENTICATE A COACH NEW/OLD HANDBAG PURSE TOTE TIPS FOR SPOTTING FAKES

[@deeringkendrick8388]

This was the best authentication video on KZbin. I have dozens of coach bags and the don't have the YKK zipper. They have the patch though. I found the white tags stitched to the inside liner. Clearly, she's the real deal. She knows the merch.

[@tiffanikrieg870]

Thank u so much for the nice comment and for watching :)

[@saundravanek5686]

@@tiffanikrieg870can you please help me with my Coach purse and see if mine is authentic?

[@Shelly_R]

Thank you in 2023! I am waiting on a Coach bag now that I bought via Poshmark, so your information will help me to make that final decision if I want to keep it. I have been watching videos to help me, and yours is by far the best. Your comments about the creed and the white tag are the first time I have learned that tip as well.

[@Danger_Kitty410]

I just came across your video, and I'm so thankful! I bought a bag from Poshmark for only $40, in pristine condition. When it arrived, it didn't have a number on the label, and ALL of the information I found seemed to indicate it was fake. I was about to chuck it into the Goodwill pile. Even though it didn't cost me much, and it looks/feels great, I couldn't wear it in good conscience if I thought it was fake. 😏 Thanks again for saving my bag, lol!

[@SantisPullTabs]

Thank you so much for this video. Finally a person who gives examples with what they are talking about! You are amazing!

[@malenita7713]

Thank u so much... between 50 videos i ve watched today, you were the only helpful.

[@tiffanikrieg870]

Oh wow. Thats a huge compliment So glad I was able to help :)

[@iStorm-my5fp]

Omg thank you girl you saved me. I have been losing sleep over a purchase on poshmark. Thank you for giving me the tools I appreciate you 100%

[@Fallgirlforever]

Thanks for the help. I went to a yard sale today where the owners just abandoned all the stuff and the seller was just trying to get rid of things so she sold it to me for 50 cents. It's real. The serial number and everything matches the images I searched. CRAZY.

Finally!!! Answered my confusion. Thank you for this!!!

[@serendipity8340]

Hey Tiffani, thanks so much for your easy authentication tips. I’ve watched this one and your Michael Kors one. You have helped me authenticate 2 bags now and given me the confidence to buy more!!

[@trishh1916]

Oh my goodness!! Thank you so very much. 💕 you rock! I love your videos! Best authentication information. Thank you thank you. I initially found your channel with your Micheal Kors authentication video. So great!! 💕😊

[@abigayyylf.4334]

thank you for your help ! I just bought a bag and with your video, i know it's an authentic

[@shonnie089]

Thanks for this lesson. I was able to find the serial number on a bag I bought in 2014 with the tag inside the zipped pocket. I thought I had looked every where when I didn't see a number on the creed patch. Turns out it's a Phoebe shoulder Bag!

[@tiffanikrieg870]

Yay. So glad it helped!

[@Bigricky06]

Thank you so much for your video. I just bought a coach heritage laptop bag F71168 from a seller on ebay and I freaked when i didn't see the serial number. After that, i saw the YKK zipper and the white tag with the serial number and model number, 100% authentic. Thanks again.

[@knarioh5138]

Hi, what about an interior with a pattern of the whole word Coach, as it’s normally shown on the tag, being shown throughout the interior. Is that something they have done? I see vintage bags online showing that kind of interior. Style 9847, specifically.

[@KabansaAndPangutesu]

its a nice review and im sure you are and expert , thanks for sharing your ideas!

Hi there! I was having trouble identify a coach diaper bag i purchased on poshmark. I watch this full video and attempted to use the tips you suggested but I came across some confusion with the serial number part which I further explain in the email I just sent you and I hope you can help! Thank you so much.

[@ardettedorsett6329]

Thanks for your info. It IS more helpful from the info I read from others. I just bought one that seems pretty authentic from a thrift shop for $8 Canadian!!

[@januaryumbach7640]

I just bought two new to me Coach bags on Ebay first time , One Badlands black floral crossbody ... no coach creed patch on the inside but there was a little white tag on the inside I typed it in ,and it matched!! I was freaking out I inspected like this is the best fake I have ever seen I have owned many Coach Bags along with Burberry and Hammitt. and I have always just paid retail at Saks or the online stores to ensure it's authenticity. .. I must admit I fell victim to the "if it's a coach it needs the above items" And it;s been years since I bought a Coach Bag They last for so long.. . I also bought the Daisy Floral Graffiti checked on line everything matched up!! Thank You!! If you sell on line could you link your store page? Thanks again.

[@regandey5847]

Great info. How do you find what year the bag was made and the style name?

[@007achandler]

So super helpful! Ty!!

[@nataliebutler]

What about the older bags without lining?

[@Blue-r4x]

Do price tags have anything to do with authenticity? I purchace an online bag with tags and when I got it the price tag has a small epc logo on the right corner.

[@kisun7123]

I was wondering what you think if you type in the serial number and the picture pops up but from different sites like it shows your bag being sold on poshmark. Or some Asian equivalent 😢?

[@msneedegirl418]

I so appreciate this video, thank you!!

[@michelleespin1577]

Hi I purchased a colorblock multi color bag and the number did pop up but the color scheme wasnt the same, It listed orange tote but to me its a red tote. Can you please tell me if its fake? Also it doesnt have a white sticker in the inside of the bag. I bought it on Poshmark

I'm a Coach lover hence a few videos on my channel. However the genuine bags share one commonality. Nice video!

[@holidayholiday7554]

Tiffany, I am so lucky to see this video. Thank you for information - the most helpful one. my couch bag has funny serial number E06K-10243. when I googled the last digit numbers 10243 it shows pictures of the bag I have, but the first E06K seems quite strange. I have seen on ebay you sell one quite similar bag but number is deferent. Is this old vintage bag ? How old it could be? The white stitching is not seen anymore in Couch bags. Thank yo again , I am happy to see all your videos - very useful information.

[@user-vq6hj]

If you have a couch bag it’s def fake the real brand is COACH

[@mochabomb]

Mine is a coach small ergo with serial K0785 at the start. So is that Nov (for the K) 1978 or 1985? Thanks.

[@tiinale]

Thank you very much for this information. I have a second hand Coach bag and the serial number is four numbers 9085. I did found it and I noticed that it should have this hanging logo thingy in it but mine don't have that. I don't know if the last owner has removed it or something.. Otherwise it seems legit. And other thing, I only found prices for used bags, didn't find the rrp, do you know where I could find it? Thanks so much!

[@tiffanikrieg870]

tiinale if its a 4 digit serial number its a vintage bag so will be hard to find original price unless u happen to find someone selling one new with tags. If the hangtag is missing. Thats normal, especially for vintage bags. People remove them, they fall off etc . Has nothing to do with authenticity. Hope that helps :)

[@tiinale]

Yes, that helped, thank you :). And at the end of the day the real price doesn't even matter, I got it for 50 euros and it's in really good shape, like new! Have a great weekend!

They do make ones with gold ink and some with gold cursive script writing....but the serial number u gave me belongs to a city tote which is a newer bag and it should have the white serial tag in the inside pocket. That serial number u gave me belongs to a city tote

Excuse me. I am from germany and dont was able to understand everything. I bought a coach brooklyn from ebay. The seller sells since 2004 . I think this is a good sign for a real bag? Everything looks fine, the stitching, the hardware, correct serial number in the inside zipper pocket. But the zippers have now brand logos. You can see no brand on the zippers? It this a sign for a fake bag. Sorry for question. I dont understood completely when you told about zippers and sorry for bad englisg. Kind regards Georgia

[@msneedegirl418]

Does coach engrave their name on the rings, buttons, and hardware?

[@tiffanikrieg870]

msneede girl sometimes they do. the newer bags (after 2014) started engraving the zipper pulls. some madison bags have the logo on the buttons and some older soho bags have "coach" on the buckle or rings. just depends on the style. the best way to authenticate is by the creed patch and interior. all the other stuff is pointless cause coach changes stuff so much. u can email me pix if u still need help.

When you buy a real coach bag don't they come with a coach care instructions paper I have two and two wallets and it came with it

[@tiffanikrieg870]

If u buy them from the actual coach stores yes they do. If u buy from macys, tj maxx, outlets, they usually wont still have the care cards or if u buy them used most sellers dont includr them but yes when u buy them brand new from a full coach store they will come with care cards

Did u check the serial numbers? Lyla bags are newer and not yet counterfeited, so if ur sure its a lyla and u checked the serial number or style tag inside the pocket then its real. If it doesnt have a serial number on the creed check the inside pocket

Tiffani Krieg one of the bag has serial number on the creed the other two have the white tag thingie inside one of the pockets..the bag that has serial number on creed has ideal written on the zipper and the other two has ykk on the zippers...the leather on all the bags feels v luxurious and sturdy but one of the bag has a hand tag smaller then the other two :/ And the website says its 100% authentic but i am really skeptical now

[@tiffanikrieg870]

@@anooshchohan4489 I mention all of those things in the video. Bags made after 2014 have ideal zippers. That is the brand coach uses now.
