Coach Scribble Fake??

I bought a Coach off ebay a week or so ago...It's adorable, but I want to know if it is ACTUALLY real. I know they don't look much different, but I don't appreciate someone telling me something I'm buying is "authentic" if it really isn't. It is the brighter colored one, and it's rather small...I think it's called a pouch?? Its about 8x5. No embossed tag with serial number, but I've heard that the smaller bags sometimes lack them. Anyone know how to spot them? Thanks.

I mean, it's sitting on a coach box, but it didn't come with a dust bag or anything like that.
The inside material is turquoise. Do you think if I took it to Macys or Dillards (I live in NC and I highly doubt theres an actualy coach store here) they could tell me? lol.

1. Signature fabric: The "C" pattern will be off. Except for some patterns, like the "optic" or my new favorite "scarf print," the tip of the "C" facing the other "C" should touch. Also, the pattern should line up and start in the center of the front panel of the bag. The seams should go straight down through the middle of the CC's, and the pattern should be aligned horizontally and vertically. The best way to tell is to go to the COACH website and look at the real thing, and then compare it to what you're looking at on eBay and see if the pattern is different.

2. Sometimes the "CC" will actually be a "GG" - how much more obvious can you get! And no, this does not mean it's a Gucci! (I'm not as familiar with Gucci products, but if someone is selling you a "COACH" bag which is imprinted with the letter "G" then logically it must be fake.)

3. The stitching is sloppy or the pattern is crooked - this is a sure sign because COACH does not make sloppy products!

4. The bag does not look like any other bag you've ever seen - if it looks "sort of" like a bag you've seen but something is "off" - be careful!

5. Replicas: The seller is listing an unusually large number of the same exact bag. This is a red flag because there are websites where you can purchase good-quality replicas, and I have seen these replicas listed on eBay claiming to be authentic. Note that replicas are usually made of fabric as leather is more expensive and therefore all-leather bags are less likely to be fake. (However, I have seen fake Coach bags made of all-leather. The all-leather fakes are usually very easy to spot - i.e. the quality of the leather is VERY poor, the fixtures are all wrong, etc.)

6. Photos: Beware of blurry photos or stock photos (a stock photo is one that has been cut-and-pasted from the COACH website, usually with a white background) - this does not necessarily mean the bag is fake, but if you see either of these types of photos, I would contact the seller and ask if they can send you a photo of the actual item they're selling.

7. Authenticity: Take note if there is absolutely no mention that the bag is authentic! If so, ask the seller to verify that they are offering an authentic product. If they fail to respond to your request, this may be a sign that they don't want to incriminate themselves. But be careful! Just because the seller claims it's authentic does not mean that it is.

8. Credo Patch: Most COACH bags have a "serial number" stamped on the inside, on a square patch of leather sewn into the lining. Some of the smaller purses (the "clutch," the "swingpack" and the "mini") do not have a serial number. The serial number typically consists of a series of numbers or a number-and-letter combination. The last 4-5 digits of the serial number indicate the style number of the bag. Careful, though, as fake COACH bags also have a serial number - so just because the bag has a serial number does NOT mean the it is authentic.

If the patch is not stamped - in other words, embossed into the leather - but is simply printed in ink - beware! The only bags I've seen with the credo patch printed in ink are the newer lines, like the Legacy, where the credo is lettered in gold-colored ink - and even then, it is still stamped into the leather before it's lettered over in gold.
