Hey! So Remember that Coach bag I was loving and working hard to get? I finally bought it today and it’s totally gorgeous and worth its price. But as with any luxury item, people often wonder if it’s original or fake. This is something I was a bit worried about when I made my purchase but I’m confident my purchase was an authentic one. Here’s why.
First, the quality of the material used to make the bag is much higher than I would expect on a fake. It is made from quality leather and tight stitching, whereas the fakes usually use cheap materials and poor workmanship.
Second, the design and details of the bag were exactly what I expected. It had the right number of rivets, the correct size of logo and branding and all the little details I would expect to find on an original.
Third, I consulted with a few experts before my purchase and asked them to look at the bag and make sure it was an original. After checking it out, they all agreed it looked genuine and was the correct product.
Fourth, when making the payment I opted to use a secure payment gateway. This meant that there was a higher level of security for my purchase and the payment would not be released unless I confirmed it was an authentic item.
Finally, when I received the bag it came in a beautifully made box wrapped with tissue paper and branded with a little card declaring the authenticity of the item.
I must say I’m still a bit relieved that I didn’t get a fake item. Now that I know for sure it is an original Coach bag, I feel even more proud of my purchase and couldn’t be happier with it.
But the story doesn’t end here! I learned a lot about buying accessories and luxury items during my search and now I want to share it with you so you can make an informed decision the next time you go shopping.
First of all, buy from reputable sources. You may have to spend a bit more but it’s worth the extra peace of mind. Avoid buying from shady, unknown sites and always do some research on the item you want.
Second of all, pay attention to the details. Most luxury items have a particular style, design or materials used that you can compare with the ones in the actual stores.
Third, don’t be afraid to ask questions. Whether it’s the store’s owners or the sellers themselves, don’t hesitate to ask as many questions as you need to be sure of your purchase.
Fourth, look for reputable certification of authenticity. Most luxury items come with official certificates which you can use to confirm the product is genuine.
Finally, if you’re still not sure, trust your gut. If it’s too good to be true, then it’s likely it’s not a real product.
I chose to buy my original Coach bag carefully and although it was a bit of a hassle, it was well worth making sure I didn’t end up buying a fake item. I think it’s really important to be aware of the differences between original and fake products, so you don’t get duped!
