How to check if a Coach bag is real?
Since the 70s, Coach has included authenticity tags in their bags. These authenticity tags are made of leather square panels and contain a unique serial number. The tags are stitched onto the bag, detail the origin of the bag and how it was made, and have a serial number that is stamped in place.

No number in a Coach bag is a rare occurrence, and could be a sign that the bag is not genuine, but it does not have to mean this. There are a few items in which Coach does not put numbers, usually very small ones. So, if you have a small wallet, card case or very small purse with no number in it, do not worry.
