One of the most popular computer analysis sites is famous for that, Ive seen probably close to a dozen of their Certificates Of Authenticity where both the certificate and the purse itself has a serial number thats been discussed in a major Purseforum or been on the Daria48 Fake Coach Numbers List (hard to find these days but we know where to look) for ten years or more.Īuthenticating Coach purses should be left to the experts with photo libraries big enough and accurate enough to do the job right.

It was only in the 70s that Coach started putting serial numbers in their bags. So not only is Google or any other search engine useless and dangerous, but so are those computer-based services that claim to compare tiny construction details to genuine bags, but are completely incapable of something so easy and basic as actually looking up a serial number on the internet to see if any legitimate purse and accessory websites have posts that say its a known fake number. Bear in mind, however, that Coach bags manufactured in the 1960s did not have serial numbers. To get help, youll need to register to become a member of the forum.

While its usually not hard to tell if somethings fake when theres an obvious mistake like that "O", it takes comparison of not just the details of the purse itself but also the sometimes tiny details in the serial number to actually be able to say its genuine. Also, make sure there are 4 numbers after the dash, not 3.
The serial number for an outlet style will likely start with a letter rather than be entirely numerical like Coach styles.-The materials used to make outlet styles come from more affordable leather sources, or from canvas or PVC. To do that takes a really big library of photos of those details. All genuine Coach bags come with a serial number, including outlet styles. The only way to do it accurately is to compare the font(s) to both known genuine and fake Coaches made in the same plant and year and even better the same month. This is why Google is dangerous to use to authenticate ANYTHING. Not only is the "O" in the serial number wrong, but the font used for the whole serial isnt right for that plant and year either.
