My Righteous Eyes Spot Fake Coach

FAKE Coach Scribble Tote - How to tell if is a replica I spotted this handbag on a girl today. At first I was like ooh, Coach, cute (I mean look at the colorful C’s)! But I quickly realized that this bag was a fake.

Coach Scribble Small Tote - Authentic and Quality Wondering hot to spot a fake Coach purse, yourself?

Compare it to the Real, Authentic, and Not Counterfeit Coach Scribble Small Tote: the replica has smaller C’s and is wider and larger. The real Coach scribble tote doesn’t come in a larger size. The fake isn’t as boxy; it’s elongated. The straps also just struck me as not the same; not as nice; thinner?

The moral of the story? Do not buy fake designer bags, because Fashionistas – the ones who will care about those C’s or other signature prints, etc. – will know. Read more about the horror of knockoffs, here.

For some humorous extras:

On the web page for the online sale of the exact bag pictured at top (NO! I am not going to give you a link!), this was written:

NICE! *uncontrollable laughter*

As for the real bag? Hamptons Weekend bags are crafted from ultra smooth, luxe fabric, with the softest leather handals. Drool worthy. Quality is everything. Is there really any more to say to educate today’s trend-seekers?

Buy authentic and quality bags!
