My coach bag tells me on the leather label inside the bag that it is "handcrafted in China". This also has an ID number on it. I know this is an authentic bag because I bought it from a Coach store.
Authentic Coach shoes can be purchased at Coach stores or Coach outlets. There are Coach outlet stores located in Wisconsin and they are also located at the outlet in Las Vegas, Nevada.
there should be patent number inside the coach purse.. also, by the design you can tell if its authentic but sometimes knockoffs can really resemble it.
