One year I had received a very nice Christmas bonus and used part of it to purchase Coach Purses for all the women in my family (my mother, cousin, sister and two nieces), who now are Coach Customers because of it; they have no trouble receiving their 25% off card. Am I not buying enough purses? Is this the reason? Since Christmas of this year I have purchased 3 bags....so ya. Ok that’s my rant, thanks.

I have invites to the coach factory sale. I have been invited twice in two weeks since I found out about it if you want me to invite you.

hi ladies, i am very sorry if i am posting in the wrong section! i am trying to sell an old coach bag (maybe from 2001-2004?) on Craigslist. There is a lady interested in seeing it tomorrow and is disappointed I don't have the original box/receipt. Do you think we could meet at the Coach boutique and they would be able to put her mind at ease that it is real? I know it is real since I purchased it from a local boutique, but I don't blame her for being suspicious. Let me know if you think the Coach employees could help! Thanks

No. Coach employees can't authenticate a bag. In fact, most of them have never seen a vintage bag. Why don't you post pictures in the Authenticate this Coach section and then show the lady what the authenticators say?

That would be great! how do you do that? and does it matter if I live in Canada.
Thanks.

HI girls, can someone who loves authenticating bags can visit the Authenticate this Coach... section and authenticate a bag I posted? IT's a kristin bag and I have had bad luck so far, nobody has authenticate it yet and I need to urgently authenticate the bag. TIA

Hey, has anyone bought any Coach bags from Gilt.com? if so what was your experence with them.

I haven't purchased Coach, but have purchased other designer bags. Mixed experiences, but overall good. The worst experience wasn't all that bad, but a brand new designer bag had a crooked logo plate, dulled bottom leather, and very small splotches of the wrong color in various spots on the bag. I understand that these may be manufacturing issues, but I wondered if Gilt gets "seconds". The deal was too good to pass up so I kept the bag since the deal was no longer available.

Disclaimer: this is just my experience. Not trying to dissuade anyone from purchasing from Gilt.

No problem! Let us know if you order and how the experience is for you. =)

By the way - does anyone know the story behind the "E" style numbers? I bought a silver leather Poppy Glam E tote at the factory store earlier and the style # is 23061E. I'm assuming they are new because I haven't seen letters at the end of the style before but have no idea what the E stands for.

Thanks!!

I probably won't order, its not really a deal, just a bag introduced on China's site. Idk I may change my mind.

I'm curious about this. Doesn't "M" mean Macy's, "N" mean Nordstrom, and "D" mean Dillards? "P" means pilot bag. No clue what "E" means.

What happened to the bag 19307? has anyone seen it at any outlet? The one I called it wasent in the system. Ya think one would pop up on any auction site. Her cuz hobo and dome satchel is everywhere. Its driving me crazy! Its like it fell of the earth. I purchased champagne baby Sage from coach.com. I couldn't make up my mind between the spectator and champagne. I went back and forth for days and decided to go with the champagne thinking that I can pick the spectator up later as the champagne was a little less in price. Champagne is everywhere but the spectator is gone. I should have done things the other way around. I want this bag! I have seen the shell pink one, I like, and gilt has the fawn spectator that was on the China site at almost full price,I can't risk it. The site has many mixed reviews and I found some reviews of designer items not being authentic. I would rather have this one anyways.

Oh - I feel really out of it now. I've never seen M, N, or D. The bags I see at the department stores don't usually have a letter in front (or at the end) of the style #. Have I really been missing all of these???

I have seen the P for pilot bags, but usually when I see bags at Nordstrom Rack or TJ Maxx, they usually have a Z at the beginning of the style #.

My sis has a champagne bag, but I can't remember the style. Gorgeous color and the leather is so smooshy!

Good to know about the reviews! I will be more wary of what I get from them (if I do). Thank you for the update!
