Hi,
Apologies if this is an OT topic, but I wasnt sure where to post it. I have a vintage Hippie Flap bag with a very faded hangtag. I can make out thatthere are some words under the word "Coach" on the tag, but I cant make out what the words are. I think there are three words, and the first *seems* to be USA (?) - if anyone could shed some light on what the words are, I can stop squinting at it!
TIA!

Thanks Hyacinth - now that you say that, I can make it out! Its so worn its nearly gone. I appreciate your help, as always.
Hope that I did this correctly and that I am posting this in the correct area. I was cleaning a vintage Coach bag that my sister had gotten for me while she was out thrifting a few years back and saw something strange stamped on the Creed, it has no serial numbers but I think it say says that it is a Coach bean bag? Does anyone know anymore information about this, it has me perplexed.

Sorry. Unless it is an actual bean bag, it is fake. Counterfeiters copied this creed and have used in a lot of bags. I got one and it was over a month before I figured out it was fake. The leather was really nice.
You're welcome. I kept my bean bag fake. I really like the leather. I don't know what I'll do with it but I don't want to throw it away. You can always use the strap on another bag.
I got duped by a "bean bag" back in 2007 - pre-tpf
Though I will keep the creed as a reminder to read each and every word before shelling out money, the BT leather has yielded a very nice tassel. I think this link was posted on the Rehab & Rescue thread last December: http://betsyrosspatterns.blogspot.com/2008/04/leather-tassel-tutorial-and-small-rant.html

It's never recommended fakes be donated, as that just keeps the fake in circulation, eventually ended up with a buyer who doesn't know she paid for a fake. So on the ebay boards, some have brainstormed to come up with other ideas for utilitarian use.
1. Prominently mark inside with a sharpie as "FAKE - NOT TO BE SOLD"
2. Use in basement to carry tools, laundry and cleaning supplies.
3. Use in shed for similar use
4. If you collect several, use them in the yard as planters. They make unique conversation pieces
5. There's nothing wrong with using a bag for your own use. If there's a hangtag, remove that so it's not pretending to be Coach. Often, the leather on fakes is lovely -- just not made by Coach.
