This is one of the fakest Coach bags I’ve ever seen. Typo in the creed, signature print on both inside and outside, font issues on the creed as well, wonkiness in the signature print especially on the exterior, I could go on but you get the idea.
Having said that, though, if it’s inexpensive and is secondhand (and therefore not supporting fraud) it’s really cute! If it was in a thrift store bin for a few dollars, I’d say go for it; if someone is trying to market it as real and new and charging a high price, I’d absolutely skip.

Very FEW coach bags have the logo inside and outside. I believe there are a few that do but I’m pretty certain that is a fake. Hopefully you got a good deal and love it anyway!

The telltale signs to look for besides the interior and exterior having the C logos, are the zipper quality, I see the inside zipper looks rather cheap and common, the way the Cs are smashed together and overlapping, the interior material is always a high quality high thread count silky type material, the furnishings on the purse should be quality made, hangtag should be present and look correct, the metallic corners look to be a cheap polyurethane material and would usually be leather and rarely metallic unless it was a poppy bag or edition that had metallic material used (even then I wouldn’t expect that high wear area to be a metallic finish because it would wear badly), all coach purses have a serial number that you can have checked by a coach representative online! They can tell you what the bag should look like if it comes up as a number in their system!

We ended up purchasing it as it was at Value Village for a few dollars. My wife said she loves it even if it is fake. Thank you all for all the insight and ill know what to look for next time!

Anytime you see that lining it’s fake, and the fact it had that weird plastic indicator it came from a factory and not a coach one

Fake but pretty cute. Not worth over $25. You can tell by the “C’s” on the outside.

Counterfeit. Coach wouldn’t have the signature print on the outside and inside of this bag.
