I've kept mine on all but one item. The hangtag that came on the belt I recently bought was sort of chintzy, and I thought it would be weird to walk around with a tag hanging off my belt. All my bags have tags, though. When I lost a tag once I called Coach and they mailed a new one out, free of charge. It was one of the nice metal ones, too. Oh, and I just love the big, brass tag that's on my Daphne. I wouldn't dream of taking that one off!

I leave mine on and in the case of a couple of vintage Coach bags that I bought off of e-bay that came without the hang tag, I switch a hang tag from a bag that would have the same one - so I always have a hang tag on any coach bag I wear. Luckily all my vintage bags are in black, navy or british tan so the hang tags are interchangeable.

I have a couple of handbags that I like and use but I don't want the hang tags that came with them - like from the brands Tignanello and Liz Claiborne. So those I take off. I hate to think I am a snob, but I guess I am in some ways. Peggy

Well, when I got my first Coach, they weren't really that popular. And I knew people who took them off sort of what a fellow PF'er said about taking the lable off a cashmere sweater. I debated it myself given that the tag was a form of advertising for the company, but decided to keep it on because it was part of the bag's charm for me. A roommate had a Bally bag with a hangtag on it, but I always thought it didn't look like it belonged on the bag as it would on a Coach bag. I've noticed that as coach has progressed, now the hangtag's havent' gotten fancier and appear to be an integral element of the bag's design. I think a lot of bags that have hangtags now were inspired by Coach.

Mine is metal and yep! I leave it on. What's the point of taking it off? Esp on the ones that are a lil more discreet- that you wouldn't know was Coach unless you saw the tag.

Same, I leave it on all my bags. Its cute to me and I think thats so cute that Sialia that you use it as a zipper pull!

I dont see how thats the equivalent to a price tag. .? Its part of the bag, or else why would they make some that come with a metal version of the tag if it wasnt supposed to be there. I can understand if someone didnt like it because they can just take it off but I just dont know why they would think its like a price tag and something to throw away.

Originally, the hangtag had an official function: It served to allow shoppers to feel the leather's texture without putting paws all over the bag. I've also heat that it was a color match in case of need of restoration.

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.

These same people probably have no qualms about wear a monogram bag from another famous brand.
These same people probably have no issues showcasing the half eaten fruit on the back of their mobile phones.
