Verify a Coach Serial Number
While a Coach handbag may have trademarks that look legitimate, a Coach handbag purchased second-hand may have its authenticity questioned. While Coach has used a distinct fabric for years, it may not be readily apparent whether or not your bag is an authentic Coach purse. Purchasing a Coach bag from an unauthorized retailer puts you at risk for a fake handbag. Does this Spark an idea?
Instructions
1. Examine the bag. The first indication of a counterfeit Coach bag is uneven stitching inside the handbag. Locate the serial number inside the bag or find the number on the Certificate of Authenticity.
2. Call Coach at 888-262-6224. Give the customer service representative the bag's serial number. An authentic Coach handbag has a serial number registered with Coach, and the representative can determine authenticity immediately over the phone.
3. If you cannot find a serial number, mail your handbag to:
C O A C H
Attn: Authentication
One Coach Way
Jacksonville, Florida 32218
Some older authentic Coach handbags do not have a serial number on the inside pocket. When the handbag is received at Coach, a Coach employee will examine the bag to ensure it is authentic.
4. Visit a Coach store or outlet. A Coach sales clerk can detect a counterfeit bag by examining the fabric, zipper and seams.
