It's almost impossible to know, because
1- a hangtag often didn't stay on the item it originally was attached to
and
2- there are probably no datable catalogs or adverts that include early hangtags or chronicle the change from one style to another
and
3- the bags didn't have date codes or any other method of pinning down a production date until 1994 which was long after Coach changed the hangtags.

Some questions just CAN'T be answered. So until someone invents an accurate crystal ball or time machine, you're just going to have to accept "we don't know" as an answer. :confused1:

Yes, of course. A "we do not know" is a very valid answer.
They trademarked the hangtag in 1982 but it was probably used before that, I would guess around the same time they started using creeds. I see them in a 1976 catalog but not in a 1972 one.

Thank you, interesting info whateve. I was not aware of the bit regarding the hangtag trade mark in 1982, good to know. :smile:
 
Hi Everyone. I bought this bag today in a charity shop and I'm trying to find out more information about it and if it's genuine. The Serial number is no M2K-10126. The photo is attached.
Thank you
Sarah

Style 10126 is a tote very different from this, search the forum and you will find more info, it looks like this. (Picture borrowed from Ebay).

I'm sorry but that bag is fake.

Is there a link (online) from which you purchased?

ETA: Never mind. I just reread and saw that you bought at a charity shop. They might let you return because it's illegal to sell fakes, even if a charity.
