Nevermind i saw it. Thanks for your help. I couldn't find a lot of info on this bag. If it came from a factory store and didn't have a fabric tag in the seam. Is that normal?

Thank you I appreciate the answer. I didn't see any official info about this bag online.
Items made for the Factory Outlet Stores (MFF) almost NEVER appeared online or were available to view from ANY online Search feature INCLUDING Coach.com until just the last few years, even if they were remakes or copies of full-price items. Even the full-price boutique Coach stores didn't have access to that information. It's only since Coach allowed registered outlet site "members" to order online that the option was even available, and access to the Made For Factory items only became available to the general public some time in the last 5-7 (?) years.
Coach only started using small sewn-in tags inside the bags identifying style numbers and codes at about the same time that they started eliminating that information from the creed patches and stamped serial numbers maybe around 2013-2014 but I don't remember exactly. A bag from 2008 probably would NOT have any kind of sewn-in tag except maybe a "Made In..." tag

In the case of the patchwork bag being discussed in this thread, there wouldn't have been a "made in" tag since the creed itself states where it was made and that the bag was made in China.
That's what I thought, but then I vaguely seemed to remember seeing a few items with both. Maybe I misremembered.
That's one reason why I don't authenticate newer styles.
That's very possible. I don't know whether some bags have both a made in label as well as a creed stating country of origin.
Ok great. Thanks for all the info. It's very useful. I feel a lot more sure the bag is genuine now that I know the details. Thanks so much.
I did see a picture of a patchwork bag similar to mine that did have sewn in tag, which made me wonder why mine did not.
"Similar to mine" is never a solid basis for comparison. Coach styles should only be compared when the items have EXACTLY the same style number, and preferably the same or very close production codes and both styles can be confirmed as genuine.
Hoping all of you had a great Thanksgiving.
I need your help identifying this coin purse, about 2.5 x 2.5 inches. I have no clue where to start looking, so if you could be so kind to give me a time frame of where to start, I would really appreciate it. No hurry of course.
TIA

I’m back to bug y’all again. I have been looking for information on this one for a while and gave up but I have been going through my bins and found it again. It looks like 12 by 10 but that’s flat. Lemme stuff it and take another picture. Any idea on what this bag is called? Thanks so much

I believe it's a Monterey shoulder (?) bag, 4027. (I'm not certain of the exact name.)Here are pictures of it stuffed

Thanks so much. I will look it up. Much appreciated
BeenBurned is correct, it's a Monterey Hobo from the Lightweights line and made around 1990-92.
