In fact, old manufacturers of fake Coach® bags were generally much more meticulous and thorough in replicating nitty-gritty details compared to the manufacturers of fake designer bags today. So, it is entirely possible to acquire a fake Vintage Coach® bag that is authentically Vintage, but not authentically Coach®.
The manufacturing of fake Coach® bags began long before today’s ubiquitous “copy-and-paste”-like appropriation of designer styles. Given their desirability, Vintage Coach® bags invite a plethora of inauthentic look-a-likes – or to put it bluntly – “fakes.” Any signs of wear naturally blend into the supple leather, thereby enhancing the bag’s robust, lustrous exterior. In fact, like wine, they can become even more desirable with age.
Their practicality and elegance shield them from lapsing into obsolescence. Nevertheless, Vintage Coach® bags are quite close to “perfect” in an intuitive sense of the word. Or, more likely perhaps, Plato’s definition of “perfect” has absolutely nothing to do with handbags. Evidently, Plato did not foresee these impending impeccable creations. As you may remember from your high school geometry class, Plato established that only a small number of shapes are considered “perfect.”Ĭuriously, this “perfect” set does not include the silhouettes of Vintage Coach® bags.
