looks good, but i'm wondering what that mark is on the upper left of the creed patch. it doesn't look like a bullet from the outlet, part almost looks like an F (like final sale). I would ask about that, but the bag is real

Yea, the description talks about the FS. I've seen reference to the bullet (which mine didn't have - are bags purchased at the outlet supposed to have that?) and the X but not FS. When would you expect to see FS (ie when is something FS)?

FS means that Coach will not touch the bag if anything is wrong, it was sold at the outlet as is. It's bad because if later some stitching, etc come out, the turnlock breaks, etc, Coach won't fix it or honor the waranty like they will for other bags (even outlet bags, etc)

there - now you've learned something else! not bad for less than 10 posts huh? welcome again to tpf! :yes:

I need help with the denim duffles....
I thought the style number for this particular bag was 10406, I was browsing on Ebay and saw these listings and had different registration numbers:

http://cgi.ebay.com/COACH-DENIM-BLU...ryZ63852QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
http://cgi.ebay.com/Coach-Signature...ryZ63852QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD1VQQcmdZViewItem

I really want this handbag!! Can someone help me please?

The two bags are just different sizes. 10406, the "medium" duffle, is the larger of the two. For some reason Coach always calls the larger of two duffles the "medium". If you look at the leather trim on top of the bag you can see the difference in how the leather strip is woven through the rings and grommets. The larger bag has two grommets between each ring where the smaller 10405 has only one.

What's confusing and kind of deceptive is that the seller of this first listing # 220112971974 has stolen the picture of the larger bag from Coach's website to use as her Gallery photo, but the photos she's taken herself are of the smaller bag with only one grommet between the rings, which is the one she's actually selling.

Thre's about a 1 1/2 inch difference between the two. Personally, I'd avoid the first seller because using Coach's pictures in an auction listing is illegal and a violation of US copyright laws.

The second bag is smaller and has been used. The third bag is larger, new with tags, and from a highly trusted seller. Personally, I'll always buy the larger of two similar bags if I have a choice, but that's your decision to make.
