This is causing a lot of confusion. All new bags no longer have a number on the creed. It should be on a tag inside the pocket.

They no longer seem to be doing that either! My Swagger, Rhyder and Floral Taxi tote have neither the number on the creed or the white tag. I wonder if they're just foregoing the number system altogether?

OK, I am very well versed on Coach, but I have yet to see (it probably is and I have missed it) anything posted about what an E after the style number means. Like M means a Macy's bag, or N means Nordstroms. Does E mean Elder Beerman? I know ES means Employee Sale, it definitely does not have an S after the E.

This has been discussed many times on the forum. I'm not sure how to do a search on it. I've seen bags that looked like full priced styles sold at the outlet. I bought a leather glam with an E in the creed over a year after they were sold in FP. No one knows and Coach isn't telling. Some believe the E might stand for extra, as in "lets make more bags and use up all these extra materials we have lying around."

The "ES" for employee sale is stamped on the creed later, the E in the creed looks like it was manufactured that way.

I found in another thread, that a Coach corporate employee said it meant Exclusive, meaning any department store exclusive. Ugh, nothing like throwing us for a loop. I knew it wasn't ES, as it was a manufactured mark, not a later, added mark.

I'm confused as to what qualifies as an 'Employee Sale'

I worked for FP Coach & none of my bags were ever stamped after purchasing. No ES, no stamping ever. In fact, I don't believe we even had such a tool around

Could be a new change though
