ALL Chloe bags will have a serial number and you should ask for a photo of this. How many digits it has depends on the age of the bag, the most common is XX-XX-XX but for the most recent bags they can go up to 10 digits.

Coach bags are iconic for a reason; this classic brand, first launched in New York City in 1941,c reates high-quality, hand-crafted leather goods that never go out of style. But their high demand means there are a lot of imitators out there; Coach bags and wallets are often copied illegally, with knockoffs available online, on street corners, out of sketchy car trunks! The only way to know your Coach bag is a true original is with the bag’s serial number. Open the handbag and find the serial number tag. This is a leather patch with the Coach logo and motto, typically sewn in directly under the interior pocket zipper.

The serial number is at the bottom of the tag and contains a minimum of 4 letters and 4 numbers. Call at 1 (904) 741-3090 and give the representative your serial number.

All authentic Coach bags are registered with the company in their database and the rep will be able to verify the bag’s authenticity. You can also visit a Coach retail location. The manager or sales associate will be able to do a database search to let you know if your bag's for real.

Does Bluefly Sell Fakes??? I saw a Black Marc Jacobs Blake bag on Bluefly and snapped it up.

It arrived today, and the zippers are NOT marked 'riri.' In fact, there are no markings under the zippers at all. There IS the white stitching on the handle that goes through the O-ring hardware. The lining is a beige suede. Everything else looks right, But no 'riri.' In fact, the zipper pull says 'YKK' on the little portion on the top. What is going on???

Do you think it's possible? Or that someone returned a fake bag and kept the authentic for themselves? .the zippers are NOT marked 'riri.' In fact, there are no markings under the zippers at all.Everything lse looks right, But no 'riri.' In fact, the zipper pull says 'YKK' on the little portion on the top. This sounds exactly like all of the fake Blakes that were purchased on ebay approx 6 mos ago, and which I have photographed on my page.

The bag looks remarkably like an authentic one, but when compared side-by-side, the differences become more obvious. The lining is slightly darker and the zippers are marked ykk on the edge of the actual zipper. Here is a comparison of one of those fake Blakes & an authentic one: And here is a picture of the zipper from one of these bags: See how close they are? If you didn't have a trained eye or know about the zippers, you really wouldn't be able to tell the difference. The Made in Italy marking, however, wouldn't be in the suede on a Black Blake, it would be on the nameplate inside, which we've seen faked too many times to count!
