Coach wasn't too concerned with things like style names back then. Remember, that was when the geniuses in charge decided that there was no reason to put catalog descriptions and even style numbers of the items on the same page as the catalog photos? Whoever the Chief Muckity-Muck, who was also the catalog photographer I think, was at the time decided that only his pretty pictures were worthy of appearing on the main catalog pages, sordid details like names, numbers and descriptions should be exiled to the back pages of the catalog. A lot of the bloody photography pages didn't even have page numbers! Trying to find item information was like trying to find a black cat in a coal mine. Top management were wallowing in the depths of a MASSIVE ego trip.

Power corrupts. It also tends to make people monumentally stupid, not just in business but even moreso in politics. If anyone wants to slap me down for sounding politcal they're welcome to. On THIS day especially, I think that millions of serviceman and women who died in combat not just for this country but for dozens of others around the world are rolling over in their graves. May all of their ghosts come back to haunt the people in power who have made a mockery of their sacrifice.
Good morning ladies, I'm sorry but here I am with more of my silly questions.
A friend was using this little cutie (style I have never seen before), and when I asked the name, she said she didn't remember, I replied that the creed would have the number, but it is one of those that do not, then I said... it must be a little tag sewn in the inside pocket, but there was not.
She bought it at an outlet so I know it's real, but just wondering... some of the bags had creed with no number and no tag inside?
This is the bag

There should be a white tag. If it's not sewn into the lining by the made in tag, it is probably buried inside the zippered pocket (or if there's an open pocket, there). Sometimes it's necessary to (literally) pull the lining out to turn the pocket inside out to find it.
No, there was no tag. It has only 1 zippered pocket. We looked inside pulling the liner, because it happened to me once, I couldn't see the tag, with the liner out I found out that it had been almost shredded, but the remnants were there.
No signs of ever being one.
I was going to come back and apologize for not being able to help with this one but I did a bit more digging and found what I think is the style.
See this listing. Note that the listing DOES show a white tag with numbers and it appears to be inside the zippered pocket, style 35373. In the picture of the inside of the price tag, Bloomingdales covered the style name so I can't read it but the seller calls it, "COACH Mini Duffle Chain Braided Leather Pink Crossbody Shoulder Bag"
I found a listing for a white one with gold chain and colored stitching, like the one in question:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Coach-White-Leather-Bucket-Cross-body-Shoulder-Bag-Rainbow/153395987771
It does look like the same bag. Perhaps asking the seller to hunt for an supply a picture of the white label will confirm the style number.
Ladies, thank you so much for trying to help, sorry to be taking your time.
I have also been searching, not because I doubt my friend has a fake, but because I love "mysteries" LOL.
I found this, it is not the same style and it was made for Factory, so the difference could be there?
Without seeing the label, it's hard to say whether 35153 is MFF or if it's FP but was transferred to the outlet and had a new (outlet) price tag made and attached.
The bags shown appear to be similar styles but with slightly different measurements, thus the reason for the different style numbers. (and there's also variation in how sellers measure.)
Yes, you are absolutely right.
We still do not know about the tag, but at least we know the style number and name.
It was made for FP stores. The style numbers are different on the white with multicolor and the pink as there are differences in the amount of whipstitching and chains.Yes, you are absolutely right.

It's probably a Blake mini carryall, F37635. It's made for factory. There are other sizes.
