Look for labels.

Labels are commonly found on the hardware, outside of the bag, and on the inside of the bag. For example, each bag should come with the Coach leather creed, which is a leather patch embossed on the inside containing the bag's serial number.

When you inspect the interior of the handbag, you may find a rectangular piece of leather sewn onto the lining; this is often referred to as a creed that shows the stamped style/serial number. If your Coach bag does not have this it may be due to style.

Sometimes, the creed may read the same as a real creed and the serial number may be in the correct format, but the bag is still fake. A good starting place if you are unsure of authenticity is to Google search the last 4 numbers in the serial number (if the bag was made after 1994) to see if the serial number is valid.

Sometimes counterfeit Coach bags comprise a creed that is riddled with misspelled words or spelling errors. A genuine Coach bag's serial number is always stamped into the fabric of the creed. So, if the bag is a forgery, it may have a serial number that is only inked on it.
