Thank you. First time here, I don't know how to delete that old thread,made mistakes on drafting and poor connection too ..Thanks for responding
No problem. If needed, the moderaters will lock or delete the other thread. Welcome. Lol, no prizes for spelling. There is an edit feature. If you look at your posts, for about an hour after you post them, in the lower left corner, on tablet or computer, hit edit to change. On my phone, I need to hit more to edit. Not sure how it works with the app.

To demonstrate the differences between the fake tag and what it should look like, I've attached some pictures showing comparisons.
View attachment 4338781 View attachment 4338782 View attachment 4338783

The counterfeiters have figured out what the style should look like and they've copied it. Many of the listings show the Coach stock photo so of course, the images will look the same.

But also, because the fake makers are getting better at copying, their fakes are better at fooling buyers. But in just about every case, they make some mistakes.

There might also be mistakes in stitching, hardware, linings, fonts, etc. but since there aren't enough listings of the same style with actual pictures of the bags, we can't see those differences.

However, with the fake tag with the incorrect information and wrong fonts, it's pretty clear that the bag the tag is on is fake.
Not sure how to word this but I thought removable things like tags, hang tags, care cards etc weren't used to authenticate? The tag is definitely wrong so something isn't right about the situation, but that could be more about the seller and not the bag. No offense meant just really curious.

I'm watching and still searching others posting of inside of this saddle 20... i think, if we could compare with the real one at the store, the difference will be shown on the colour of that bag...
No offense, i'm also currious to learning real and fake bag
 
I need help to tell if these coach bags are authentic. Thanks

You are absolutely correct but when combined with other red flags including the "quality" of some of the fakes, my (personal) recommendation is to avoid it.
