Fake Coach Handbags – how to spot them

If you love the quality of a Coach Designer handbag but you cannot pay the recommended price, beware. The producers of fake, knock-off designer bags are getting better at imitating the real thing, and taking a lot of money from you for a bag that uses cheap counterfeit materials.

It’s getting very hard for customers to tell if the designer bags they are buying are real or fake. So it is difficult to decide if a discount designer handbag is real: some say the only way to be sure is to buy direct from the Designer. It is true that you need to be careful but there are some tell tale signs of an imitation Coach Handbag, and you can use these to spot the difference.

These tips help you to make an educated decision when you are looking for a Coach handbag and you find for sale at an online discount outlet. We will start with some of the more obvious things to look for when shopping for a Coach bag. These tips will be very helpful to you when you are shopping on auction sites like ebay, Yahoo auctions or MSN. We’ll start from the top and work our way down the list.

The first thing you should always do is take a look at the feedback for the seller you are thinking of making a purchase from. This is one of ebay’s best features, with this system fellow buyers are allowed to leave feedback about their purchases from the seller. You’ll definitely want to read the comments that previous buyers have posted about they’re transactions with the seller. If you find that the majority of the comments about the seller are negative, that should raise a red flag that tells you that you don’t want to deal with this seller.

At that point it should be pretty obvious that the seller is not conducting a reputable business. Another warning sign you should keep an eye out for is sellers with very little feedback. Sellers that only have feedback of 10 or less comments should generally be avoided, even if the feedback is all positive. The reason for this being that these sellers are just starting out, and they may not even know if they are selling a fake handbag or not. Read more »
