I don’t think they go back in to a bag to remove the creed to replace it with another. Not saying it’s never been done lol but I don’t know how they’d actually do that without hurting the bag. After a bag is manufactured it’s stuffed and wrapped to the gills in foam and paper and wrapped in those plastic bags so they’d have to either unwrap it completely or somehow not disturb the wrapping while unstitching and then re-stitching and not messing up the bag. And the way the interior is set up the tag has to be attached before the canvas is sewn into the bag right? How could you sew on another creed without having access to the other side of the canvas? I’m no seamstress so I don’t know but I feel bad for the poor soul that has to do that if it’s being done [emoji23]

I think they just made more for factory outlet because they thought this style would sell well at the outlet lol But who’s knows! Coach always does it the Coach way which sometimes doesn’t seem to have rhyme or reason haha

That's what I said years ago, they wouldn't dismantle a bag to sew a factory outlet creed in there. I think that was materials they had for FP bags, decided not to make those particular bags for FP anymore so used the materials to make them for the outlet. I also think that when / if they start making them specifically for the outlet you will see at least subtle differences.

I think so too. When the rogue gets discontinued at full price it’ll be open season on MFF Rogues I’m guessing lol

I have either read about it here or watched someone on YouTube, but they said that the Outlet literally replaces the leather tag inside the bags with their own that have the F in the front of the style number. Seems like too much trouble to me but they were saying that the bags felt just like regular store ones in terms of quality . Someone also said they thought these may be leftovers from European sites that they retag for the factory outlets. Who knows. I went to the outlet after almost buying the rogue 17s during the most recent online FO sale, and they didn’t have them. They did have the rogue shoulder bags which were on the Factory Outlet site and the SA told me that those shoulder bags are their ‘retail table’. I wish I had checked the tags for the F letter!

They definitely have the F in the creed. I have the bag in my possession.. I don't think.the creeds are replaced I think the F creeds are put in at the time of manufacture.

When I was at the outlet today, the manager said they will be debuting MFF Zoe with a crossbody strap. Old timers like me will remember the original FP Zoe and then the MFF Zoe with crossbody strap which came about because a customer, and tPF member, if I recall correctly, altered her Zoe to create that function and Coach ran with the idea. Apparently they are going to have the Zoe at this event, then pull it and then release it again, I think she said a week later.

They released MFF versions several times. I had the MFF version from 2009 that had wonderful leather. In 2013, they released it again and the leather was horrible. I ordered it on FOS and returned it.

So if I order a Swagger, is it a swagger made for factory? Because a swagger is definitely different from a Blake, por example. Or an Edie versus a Lexy. I was a believer that Coach Reserve at the outlet online were actually items from the regular stores, not made for factory.

No swaggers ARE from the regular stores. The outlet version of them are called Blake. Most Coach reserve bags are from the regular stores but recently they have been selling certain styles made of the same materials through the outlet. My guess is they thought something would sell like hot cakes but failed their prediction. So the extra inventory ends up going to the outlet.
