Check Thrift Stores For Authentic Coach Purses

While shopping with my daughters this past weekend, we stopped at a thrift store to see what treasures we could find. 

My middle daughter won the prize.  She is always looking at purses and handbags and found one that she really liked.  It was priced at $20 which is a bit higher than most of the purses we were looking at.  There were no markings on the outside of this great vintage looking black leather purse.  We took a closer look at the inside and found that it was a Coach purse.  The label was engraved into the leather patch inside.  My daughter was thrilled!  She could already tell that it was a quality purse and now knew that it was for sure.

This is the purse she found:

You just never know what someone is going to donate to one of these stores.  You have to look carefully though.  I had seen some before that I could tell right away they were not authentic Coach purses.  Check out this link for how you can determine what is real and what is a knock off.
