Do you leave the hang tag on?

I leave my on, I also think it's part of the bag.

I like to switch my hangtags around..for instance, i'll put a hot pink one on my black soho flap. I think it gives the bag a little punch of color and looks really cute. I love the hangtags!

The tag is part of the Authenticating factor.

Well, I confess, I use to take them off all the time. I guess I just felt like I knew it was Coach, but I did not need to advertise for them. lol But now I leave them on. Mainly because there are so many fakes, I don't want it to look like I am carrying a fake. And I have also started reselling all my old bags when I am done with them, and it helps to have the tag.

BTW, I have been looking for more Coach obsessed forums. Can you PM me the url for this one you are referring to. Thanks!

LOL, I used to take them off, too...until I realized how cute they look.
It actually wasn't a forum I was reading. It was a newsgroup (alt.fashion). I've been lurking/posting (mostly lurking these days) there for a few years and it's a great bunch of people. It's like a smaller-scale version of PF. I love the "What I bought today" and "What are you wearing today" threads on there. Anyway, I had Googled old posts on Coach and that's where I found several discussions about the hangtag thing.

Pursefetish - the hot pink tag on the black bag sounds adorable!

You are supposed to leave the hang tag on the bag. That is Coach's signature item. I have even called Coach and got a replacement tag when I lost one. Those people just sound snooty and not very educated when it comes to handbags.

I keep mine on. Some of the hang tags are so pretty with rhinestones and stuff!

Haha, this is great! I feel very vindicated since on the group I was reading, it was almost 100% the other way...and people were quite snotty about it, too...like "Oh, I'd NEVER leave the tag on...how tacky!". I totally didn't understand the attitude.

who are they kidding? if they were embarrassed because it was "coach" then why by the bag at all? if your going to wear a bag, wear it with pride!

I love having the hang tag on! I like the noise it makes when it moves around and hits the bag.

Of course !

I really like the bags with the super large ones, like the soho fabric hobos versus last year's - much larger tags !

 

[Selena]

I cant even imagine taking them off. Its like taking the locks off my speedys! Wouldnt be complete without them!!

 

[Melissa71]

I leave them on. I think they're cute and add to the charm of the bag. :o)

 

[Kristen]

I always leave them on. It adds charm to the bag

Exactly!

Sialla, was that on the qvc apparel board? I think I read something similar there.

I always leave them on -- part of the charm of the bag, imo!!
