But while the Coach Saffiano tote if $358, the Michael Kors version is $298.

"We are surprised at the lack of authenticity and believe most consumers will push back on price and styling assuming the reason the consumer still shops at Coach is for authentic styling," researcher Wedbush Securities said in a note.

Coach is facing competition like never before, with emerging luxury brands like Michael Kors and Tory Burch.

Oh, and the Michael Kors bag isn't original either. It's a copy of a Prada design.
