Do you leave the hang tag on?

[Farkvam]

I take it off but I keep it inside the bag. I am glad my vintage Casino came with the hangtag, but I have never been a fan of charms or things dangling off my bag. I also remove key bells/clochettes from my bags. Nice to have as part of the complete package, but not necessary for me to use.

Edit: someone also mentioned this, but I too used the hangtag as a tester for a leather cleaner and conditioner before trying them on my bag, and it was so helpful!

I keep them on some of my 1941 bags, but all the others come off, and I add them to this keychain. I keep them for when I give a bag to my Mom or daughter incase they want the tag, but I don’t use them.

It wasn't me that shrink wrapped the ball chain closure, maybe it was @whateve?

Sorry - late to the game. I've used this method with success, but there are likely other good ways to secure hangtags as well. (Hope this quote and link work the way I'm expecting it too!)

Well I’m happy to report that I’ve been wearing my Cassie 19 all month and haven’t had any mishaps with the hang tag. Hopefully I didn’t just jinx it.

See the link in my post above. I've had good success with the tube method so far. Good luck!

I've had a few fall off, but I had found them before they were gone forever. Because of that I've taken some off their bags if they seem precarious, and replace with a bag charm or scarf. On my Rogues, I've left some of them on, but tucked them in the outer pockets or taken them off completely.

Same here! I had a 1941 bag where the special edition tag was always falling off, and I just took it off and through it in my storage. Most bags are fine and this isn't an issue.

I do. I know initially the hangtags were intended to be used as color and texture samples, but they’ve become sort of an icon.

Some of my bags were purchased new forty years ago and I never lost a tag, knock on wood. However, recently I have purchased pre-owned bags without tags and I regret it. The bags are authentic, but I want the tags. Vintage tags are not easy to come by and are pricey. Coach has not been much help.

For now I’ll carry the bags without tags I suppose

New to the Coach Vintage world and trying to acquire my love's from way back. Wish I would have read through this forum before making some of my purchases; some do not have tags. I have reached out to Coach and they were of no help other than go to my local Coach store and see what they have; no luck there.

I've looked around on the sites I know of; Poshmark, Mercari, Ebay, no luck. If anyone has any ideals where I can acquire some, I would be very thankful; looking for dark brown and black (3 each). Thank you.

I also want a hangtag on my bag and look to buy bags that come with them. But I've learned not to let the absence of a hangtag prevent me from acquiring a bag I really want. I've bought about 4 brass Coach hangtags. Since the hardware of the bags I've been buying is pretty consistently brass, I just use a brass hangtag when the leather hangtag is missing. Saves my OCD some real issues.

ETA: Not those 'gold' tags that Coach would send if you call. I look through the resale sites for the real brass hangtags. Any questionable ones can be authenticated here.

I have seen the gold ones but didn't know; or have seen, the brass ones.

Thanks, for the tip, I will look around.

I have a gold/mango (i.e., orange) Rowan Satchel and, as often as not. I would find that the hangtag had fallen off in the car. Just that bag though - I finally just put the hangtag/chain in the pocket of the purse rather than dealing with tubing etc. and risking losing it.

This is one of my prized possessions - a vintage demo collection of Coach colors. One "hangtag" and leather samples of all the colors with each color stamped on the leather. I'm sure someone can pinpoint the year given that burgundy, sage, putty and mocha are included.
