In most cases, Coach bags have what is known as a ‘creed patch’ inside of them. There are a few exceptions to this rule, so best to research your specific bag before jumping to conclusions. However, if the bag does not have this pattern on the exterior, then it is likely to have it as the lining. If the outside of the bag has this classic ‘CC’ pattern, then the interior lining should be a solid colour satin material, and should not have the ‘CC’ print, as this is an indication of a fake. The pattern should line up evenly, and not break at the seams or pockets. The C’s should be in sets of two, and within the set they should be facing and touching, mirroring each other. Firstly, the letters should clearly appear as C’s, not G’s or O’s.
When it comes to the signature Coach bags with the ‘CC’ print, the easiest way to spot a fake is to inspect the layout of the pattern.
