Authenticating Your Coach Bag
Although most of our customers are familiar with Coach, there are a lot out there who are not. And even those who are familiar with Coach probably have not seen every bag ever made, so here we're going to give you some tips and some resources.
The biggest one is the creed patch. The lettering should be well spaced and there should be no misspellings in it. Here is a clear example of a bag that is counterfeit, the word "enduring" is misspelled and the style number, when you research it shows a completely different bag. This happens to be a very commonly counterfeit style number.
So, if the creed patch appears fine, next, take the style name and number and do a search on google. Go to "images" and there you should see pictures of your bag. Now, the lack of pictures does not automatically mean your bag is a fake, so take a deep breath. Many of the bags we sell are no longer in production and people may not be willing to part with them, so you won't see them for sale. I would say that 98% of the time you will see at least a couple of bags that will match so, while it's not foolproof, it's a good first step and may be all you need.
NOT ALL COACH BAGS HAVE CREED PATCHES!!!!
A very common misconception is that if it doesn't have a creed patch, it's not authentic. WRONG, WRONG, WRONG. Typically Coach does not put a creed patch in wristlets, wallets, swingpacks and other accessory type bags like the top handled pouch bags. Occasionally they will have one if they are a limited edition or otherwise special production, but it's quite common to see them without. Your larger bags that are termed "handbags" according to Coach will always have a creed patch.
Here we searched for the COACH Poppy Storypatch Shoulder Bag 44088
As you can see, there are plenty of these bags available to verify that your bag is authentic. Don't worry about the bags that don't match, sometimes people get the names or numbers wrong, or if there are no other bags that match the search query you'll get the next thing on the list.
You probably won't question a bag that has the sales tag still attached, but in case you do, here is the tag for the Poppy bag above. It's true that tags are not necessarily proof, as sales tags can be counterfeit as well. Usually they lack some of the information that an authentic tag will have. It will have the style number and it will have an abbreviation of the style name. Here is an example of the Poppy Story Patch. You can see the abbreviation for the bag Poppy Story Patch Top Handled Bag and the style number 44088 and the color is the Blue. It matches the bag you have and the bag in the search.
There is a misconception that the pattern must match at the seams. This is not true, what is true is that the pattern will always be centered. It's almost impossible on some patterns to match it exactly, but as you can see here the pattern is not centered at all.
Here you can compare, notice the symmetry
YKK zippers are not always used on Coach bags, despite the fact that many so called experts will tell you this.
You have to be very careful using random websites out there to get your information. Many of them have false information. There are only 2 places I trust to get my bags authenticated for free, and that is The Purse Forum Those gals know their stuff. The second place is ebay's community forums in the Clothing, Shoes and Accessories Forum
The best thing to do if you question the authenticity of your bag is to talk with your seller. Most times they can calm your fears and reassure you as to the bag's authenticity.
We, at The All Coach Partner Auction do purchase directly from Coach, but much of the variety that we are known for comes from other resources. We spend a lot of time authenticating our bags for you. We don't bring you the bags until we are certain they are authentic. Our reputation is important to us, and you, our customers are important to us.

Coach Leathers
Coach was first known for their leather bags and accessories. They use something like the top 10% of the highest quality leathers in their products. But not all leather is created the same, there is glove tanned leather, saddle and bridle leather, vachetta leather, saffiano leather and they all have specific qualities and characteristics. Today I'd like to touch on glove tanned leather since the majority of all vintage bags were made with this material.
Vintage Coach is not quite the same as the purses today, because they used heavier leather cowhides. Each were truly handmade by individual artisans, including the overseas plants.
The vintage full-grain glove tanned leather was from a heavy/medium-weight cowhide with very specific processing and tanning. It was described as such because the method the leather was processed and tanned was similar to baseball gloves. This method gave it extra durability and certain characteristics that made Coach unique. There was also a process of chroming, which is still used today in their hides. Although the cowhide is full grain, the process would fill in most of the grain, giving it a more slick appearance and allowing the patina to form beautifully. It would darken over time, similar to a baseball glove. They would scar easily, but lasted for a long time. There are still Coach items made today with the glove-tanned method.
Baseball leather is tanned using a process known as "chroming". Chrome tanned leather is tanned using chromium salts, and it is much more supple and pliable than vegetable tanned leathers. Initially this leather is stiff, however with use it becomes broken in, just like a baseball glove, and it actually gets better over time.
Because of our love and dedication to Coach, we very often carry vintage leather bags in our auctions. I hope this article gives you a new appreciation for the enduring quality of Coach leather products.
And here is tonight's auction giveaway entry, and remember you do have to be present to claim your prize at the end of the auction. And don't forget to follow/join our blog to be entered into our monthly giveaway!:

Counterfeit Coach Part 2
Because the All Coach Partner Auction also deals in vintage and pre-loved Coach merchandise as well as brand new factory and boutique items, I think it's important to let our customers know just how extensive our knowledge is on the subject. At least once per auction someone pipes up and asks if the Coach;s are real or fakes. I don't blame them for asking, as the counterfeiting of designer brands is rampant and you really do have to be knowledgeable about your subject.
Selling counterfeit merchandise is illegal. I think most people know that, but did you know that sales of $1000 or more of counterfeit merchandise is a felony? There are people who take that risk every day, and every day there are people who are caught and fined and jailed for doing it. It's not something the All Coach Partners want to risk. Our dedication and loyalty to the brand is stronger than our desire to make a buck and risk everything we've worked for. And aside from the financial loss to the brands being replicated, (approx. 500 billion dollars), counterfeiting also accounts for an estimated loss of 750,000 jobs in the US. Moreover, the profits from counterfeiting fund other crimes ranging from abusive child labor to drug trafficking and terrorist activities.
Ok, so we've established our dedication to the Coach Brand, so let's move on to some examples of counterfeit Coach Bags.
This is a bag I recently bought (and returned as being counterfeit). I suspected from the start that it was not authentic, but because there were no photos of the creed patch and it did look an awful lot like an authentic bag I saw, I figured it was worth a gamble.
Here is the authentic bag that I thought it might be, the Coach Madison Ombre Limited Edition Multi Calf Leather Sabrina Satchel 12952:
At first glance they look pretty similar don't they? Well, when I got it home and checked the creed patch (sorry, I forgot to get a picture of it) it was obviously fake, but there was one obvious detail that tipped me off right away, can you spot it?
Here is a close up to help you:
I do have to say, everything else about the bag seemed authentic, the leather felt ok, the stitching looked even, but not having the authentic bag in hand to compare it to, it's hard to say if the "feel" was the same. I would bet that someone with less knowledge would have accepted this bag as authentic and never questioned it.
Here is another example. the Coach Bubble Fish Tote:
And here is the authentic one:
Once again, they are very, very close in detail, the placement of the coral and the fish, the leather on the rope handles, but the linings are completely different and the creeds did not match. As far as I could tell, there were other pieces to this limited edition line, but nothing that matched the tote I bought (and returned as counterfeit).
There are plenty of other examples out there, but I thought I'd share my first hand experience with seeing counterfeits "in the flesh".
And as always with our weekly articles, here is the link to the All Coach Partner Auction giveaway for September 24th. And remember, you do need to be present to win. Also, don't forget to follow our blog to be entered into our monthly giveaway, which is this Friday!!!!!

The Ladies of Coach
In the last few articles we have discussed the history of Coach, attending the auction, providing feedback and creed patches… Whew! Now that you are all Coach and Tophatter mini experts…time to go shopping? Wait, not so fast… there are still a few more basics to learn! Let’s get acquainted with some of the gorgeous ladies of Coach and help you decide which one might be the right one for you! Today we will talk Alexandra, Chelsea, Carly, Zoe, Ashley and Peyton
Alexandra, characterized by her grace and poise, can often be spotted in signature or leather as a tote or her most exotic form, python or most recently as an over the top satchel (watch out Ashley)… Alexandra Chain Tote
 
Is it a classic you’re looking for? Chelsea likes to be seen in pebbled leather and often has a turnlock closure… usually a medium sized shoulder bag… she is a more serious bag… but she is also a chameleon…she has special bags which have two first names… Chelsea Ashlyn, Chelsea Jayden,
Maybe Carly is your girl… with her brass O rings, studs and signature C fabric… she exudes confidence as a large shoulder bag and is quite sassy as a demi…
Zoe… loves fun and shows it in flashy patent and she sometimes gets glammed up in patchwork… sleek with clean lines…Zoe Top Handle Pouch
Ashley is the grand dame of the Coach ladies and can often be found as both a small and large satchel in leather and signature fabric… she also takes the form of sateen and op art C to show off… she is also well known for her wallets and her life as a hippie… Ashley Satchel
Peyton… the drama queen…known best for her sometimes triangular silhouette, her python trim and big bold turnlocks… Coach Peyton Shoulder Hobo
Now that you’ve met some of the ladies which one might be the one for you?!!!
The bag(s) you love and carry the most should complement more than just your outfits, they should flatter your body type; it is just as important as getting the right fit in your clothing.
This season’s oversized bag is a must have, so sometimes we break the rules to carry the bag of the moment, but for the most part, your bag should always balance the proportions of your body.
Choosing your bags based on their relationship to your shape and size is key…
For Petite Women
Smaller styles are best, with shorter straps or handles. Choose a bag with minimal hardware and flash. When the body is petite, you need to keep your accessories clean, simple, and tonal to your outfits. Your bag should not compete with your small frame. Zoe Top Handle, Carly Demi or Ashley small satchel
For Taller Women
Most styles will flatter your figure. You're the coat hanger of the body types, so you wear accessories well. But keep in mind that a super-sized bag will only play up your lankiness and small delicate bags will get lost on you. Long shoulder bags, bucket bags and hobos are all winners. And bags with bold patterns and details will also play well against your model height… Large Carly or Peyton Hobo
Women with Fuller Figures
Carry a bag that has some volume and size to keep things in proportion with your silhouette. Keep your outfits simple and let your bag do the talking. Smaller pochette bags carried under your arm will only play up your fullness. Make sure the bag sits above or below the fullest part of your body not on it. Try and keep your bag away from your body if possible by carrying it in your hand, in the bend of your arm, or dropped low at your knees. Chelsea or Large Carly
The American "Average" Size 8 to 12 Woman
You should have an easy time choosing the size, shape and style of the bag you'll carry, since most will flatter. Keep things in the middle just like your body. Avoid extremes, large and small, and you should be fine. Alexandra, Peyton or Ashley…
These are just some of the many famous ladies of Coach… who suits you best?
Wait, before you decide, tune in for our next installment…we will look at Amanda, Leah, Julia, Penelope, Mia and Hailey… more gorgeous Coach ladies you should get to know…
And here is tonight's All Coach Partner Auction giveaway question! And don't forget, you need to be present at the end of the auction in order to win!
