This emb sophia bag on the FOS sale has the same style number as my boutique bag. They do show an F in front of the number on the FOS ad listing, but they usually renumber FP deletes with an F on the tag when they send them to the outlet.

At any rate, it is the exact same price that I paid for my boutique bag at the outlet more than a year ago and the MSRP is the same too.

It would be interesting to see the creed patch inside the FOS bag, including the date code. I've posted a pic of the creed patch of my bag. It is hard to read but it was made in 2010.

I don't know what LO stands for, but it is made of Garcia leather, not glove-tanned leather, and it is kind of shiny.

Interesting, do you know if the style number is the same as the boutique version?

It's very odd when these older bags pop up at the outlets. Anyone remember about a year ago when a lot of the older Madison styles were showing up (small croc Maggie and carryalls and some of the black leather Sabrinas)? Not sure if they are leftovers from Asia, but I have seen some of the Asia exclusive colors on the FOS before (last year's laser cut in the blush color comes to mind). Who knows with Coach

I just saw the pic of the lindsey with the F after the hyphen and the 2012 date. I wonder if they come with a dustbag, because MFF bags do not.

If someone purchases the emb sophia I would be very interested to see what it says on the creed patch!

Can't agree more...............I will be done with Coach if they are taking this way

I just pulled out the original tag and receipt for my sophia. It says:

SV/PUTTY
SV/P7
16343
MAD EMBL LTH LG SOPH
MFSRP $598.00

It came with a Garcia Leather care card and the price was $293.02 (so a few bucks cheaper than the FOS bag.)

I have been able to carry my bag for over a year and I got it at about the same price as the FOS bag, so I am not upset.

But I like that my boutique bags are not commonly seen in my area. So far I have only seen one other woman carrying an embellished putty coach bag and it was a maggie.

I would be upset if I start seeing my bag everywhere I go!

Just ordered it! Can't wait to see it. I will definitely report back. Unfortunately I don't have this bag in any other color so I can't do a side by side comparison, but I am pretty good at spotting MFF products based on the hardware, thickness of the leather, etc.

I also ordered the MSB. Taking my chances, I guess! Rolling the dice....

Eh... free shipping and return at an outlet if you don't like it. I'd do it too if I liked light bags!
