Coach Bag No Serial Number

  1. Coach Bag Has No Serial Number
  2. Small Coach Bag No Serial Number
  3. Coach Bag No Serial Number
  4. Coach Bag With No Serial Number

I found this in yahoo answers.

Just because the seller claims it's authentic does not mean that it is. Credo Patch: Most COACH bags have a 'serial number' stamped on the inside, on a square patch of leather sewn into the lining. Bear in mind, however, that Coach bags manufactured in the 1960s did not have serial numbers. It was only in the 70s that Coach started putting serial numbers in their bags. Therefore, if you are buying a vintage piece dating before the 70s, you cannot judge the authenticity of the product based on the creed patch. Was this step helpful?


The following numbers will always indicate a counterfeit Coach bag, especially any serial number starting with NT- or TN- :
NT-4903 NT-4908 NT-4115 NT-4157
TN-9085 TN-9096 TN-9951 TN-4186
7H-7456 4C-9911 40-8624
In fact, ANY Coach bag with only two letters or one number and one letter to the left of the hyphen can be assumed to be fake, whether or not the number is in the above list

These are just SOME of the numbers found on counterfeit bags that were made In Korea:
501-02 701-02 101-22 101-147 and anything starting with 101-,102-, 201-, 202-, 301-, etc.
but there are many more number combinations being used. Coach bags will never have serial numbers in these formats, and will NEVER say Made In Korea. Coach has never made bags in Korea.

Almost all numbers beginning with H4B- are fake, like these:
H4B-0532 H4B-0516 H4B-0678 H4B-0517
except for H4B-8983 which should only be on a Scooter Bag and H4B-9948 on a Bucket Bag.

More fake numbers:
M4N-4154 012-3445 308-9937 308-9875 - this one is VERY common
J4D-4133 is fake unless it's on one of the classic Waverly Totes.
Always check a bag's serial number and be sure the style number actually belongs to that bag. It still may be counterfeit, though, so don't use serial numbers as your only test. The counterfeiters also use many legitimate-looking serial numbers but on the wrong style bags or accessories, like -5659 which should only be on a Scribble Tote, -6094 which belongs only on a Signature Demi, -9956 from an all-leather Pelham Bag, and -1417 which should only be on an East-West Leather duffle. Accessories with style #5077 are fake, that number belongs to an Optic Bee Tote.
Fake pebbled or nubuc leather Sonomas are showing up with incorrect numbers - Sonoma bags from the mid-90s should always have style numbers starting with 49xx except for about half a dozen exceptions.
Many popular bags from 2006 and 2007 are now being faked and have serial numbers starting with 'M3U-'. These are all fake since a Coach with that year code would have been made in 2003.
A correct serial or style number will never prove that a Coach is genuine, but an INCORRECT number will always prove that a bag is fake.
Step1
Look at the pattern on the outside of the bag. Most Coach bags have a 'C' pattern. On a true Coach bag, this pattern will start in the middle and extend outward. Also, an authentic Coach bag will have the tip of the C touching the tip of the opposite C.
Step2
Look at the seams. In a real Coach bag, the middle seam will go straight through the middle of the Cs, and the C's will extend to the sides of the bag. If the Cs are cut off on the sides, it is probably a fake bag. The stitching should also be very neat and well done, with no overlaps or dangling thread.
Step3
Look at the logo carefully. One very obvious sign of some impostor bags is that instead of a 'CC' logo, it looks more like 'GG'.
Step4
Check out the style of the handbag. Does it look like something Coach has released recently? Before you buy a Coach bag off the street, on eBay or at that swap meet, take a look around a high-end retailer to become familiar with the styles of real Coach bags.
Step5
Open the bag and look inside. Is the Coach logo repeated on the lining? If so, repeat the previous steps for checking the logo and stiching. Look for a serial number because on the larger Coach bags, there should be a serial number stamped on a square patch of leather sewn into the lining.
Step6
Examine the hardware. Coach uses only the best. Is the zipper of high quality? Coach bags have 'YKK' stamped on their zippers. Also check out the tag; if it says, 'Made in China,' it still might be a real Coach bag, but it is definitely a fake if it says, 'Made in Korea.'

Some examples of Coach purses that may not have a serial number include: the clutch, swingpack, and mini. However, most Coach purses will have a serial number, so if it’s not one of the exceptions, then the bag should carry this identifier. No two items of any product can have the same serial number. Those are used as unique identifiers for each product made. There are tons of diff. Coach bags that. I purchased a Coach bag on ebay and I am not sure if it is authentic. I have never seen a Coach creed patch with NO serial number on it. I didn't notice that the seller didnt post a picture of the creed patch during the auction. The creed is also not as clear as it could be. Large to medium-sized to large size Coach bags will always have a Coach leather patch with a serial number inside the bag. Some of the smaller bags (such as top-handle bags or clutches) don't have the patch, but they will still have a serial number, and they can be verified. The serial number will be listed on the sales tag.

Early to Mid 1960s

No Coach® Creed, No serial number.

Thickest leather grain.

Impression of Coach® logo.

Late 1960s to Early 1970s

Coach® creed, printed in all caps, reads:

Coach Bag Has No Serial Number

THIS IS A COACH BAG. IT IS MADE OUT OF A COMPLETELY NATURAL GLOVE TANNED COWHIDE. THE SCARS, SCRATCHES, VEINS AND WRINKLES ARE NATURAL CHARACTERISTICS OF FULL GRAIN LEATHERS.

In the creed, there should be gaps between the words: “scars, scratches, veins and wrinkles.”

Under the creed in all caps is printed: “MADE IN NEW YORK CITY, U.S.A.”

No serial number.

The Coach® logo is stamped above the creed and the word “LEATHERWARE” is printed in all caps under the word “Coach” within the logo.

All bags that feature the creed but no serial number were manufactured in the original Coach® factory in New York City.

Mid to Late 1970s

Under the Coach® Creed is printed: “MADE IN THE UNITED STATES” or “MADE IN U.S.A.” (This change is because Coach® began to manufacture bags in other locations within the United States, besides New York City.)

Serial number contains seven numbers in the format: xxx-xxxx.

The serial number is unique to each bag and does not correspond to the style number.Pes 4 patch download.

A few styles feature “MADE IN U.S.A” printed under the creed and have serial numbers that consist of eight numbers without a dash.

1980s

Coach® Creed is the same as in mid to late 1970s.

Serial number contains seven numbers in the format: xxxx-xxx.

Heat up 2 vst workstation free download torrent. Both the first four digits before the dash and the last three digits after the dash are unique to each bag and do not correspond to the style number.

1994

The creed, printed in all caps, reads:

THIS IS A COACH BAG. IT WAS HANDCRAFTED IN [COUNTRY OF ORIGIN] OF

COMPLETELY NATURAL GLOVE-TANNED COWHIDE. THE VARIATIONS IN THE GRAIN

ARE CHARACTERISTIC OF NATURAL FULL GRAIN LEATHER.

There are no gaps between any of the words in the creed.

The serial number has the format: xxx-xxxx.

The first three characters before the dash indicate the month, year, and location in which that particular bag was manufactured. The first and third characters are letters, and the second character is a numeral.

Serial

The four numbers after the dash indicate the bag’s style number.

For example, consider the serial number: F5D-9966. “F” is the 6th letter of alphabet, which indicates that the bag was manufactured during the 6th month of the year: June. “5” represents the year during which the bag was manufactured. “D” indicates that the bag was manufactured in the United States. Thus, you can decipher from the first part of the serial number that the bag was manufactured in the United States during June 1995.

The letters used to represent bags’ countries of origin can vary. It is not crucial to consider this factor when determining the authenticity of a bag.

Before 1994, Coach® assigned style numbers to bags but did not include them in bags’ serial numbers. Therefore, you can find two bags that look the same, but one could have a serial number consisting of arbitrary digits (if it was manufactured before 1994) and the other could have a serial number that indicates the style number (if it was manufactured after 1994).

Tips

You can be quite certain that a bag is inauthentic if you examine its creed and find either: 1) at least one misspelling or 2) at least one word or phrase inconsistent with either of the two versions of the creed above.

Both the size and weight of the Coach® creed’s font vary. Depending on a bag’s country of manufacture and age, the particular alignment of the creed can also vary. (The creed may be justified, aligned left, centered, justified with only the last line, or otherwise.) Therefore, these factors are not reliable indicators of authenticity.

Some smaller Coach® items do not have creeds, including wallets, pouches, cosmetic cases & other small accessories.
