I can't answer your question about the meaning. Maybe someone else who knows more about the 1941 Collection has an answer.

OMG! I can't believe that Coach response.

For the record, what I meant when I said I didn't know the meaning was that the symbol on the 1941 collection items with what you thought should be "1941."

I know the meaning of the "serial number" on the creed and on the white tags on items that have those tags.

What amazes me is that the Coach CS person had to check with someone about how to read serials!

And to be clear, I didn’t ask about the white tag, I described the X with what appears to be 1, P, 7, S. I just uploaded photo of tag here to show what I had.

Based on nothing but my own over-active imagination and the animal-skin graphic with it I'm guessing that it's some kind of internal code or trademark connected to the leather supplier and not meant to be noticed by the buying public. I'm not sure why it's on the tag-shaped comp though, but Coach doesn't explain their thought processes to us peasants. Maybe whoever cut the leather for the tag came across one and thought it was meant to be seen. The facts that the one in the wallet seems to be meant to be hard to see and that several of the digits are different seem to indicate that it's some sort of internal production code, one of those "none of your bloody business" marks by the leather suppliers that we sometimes find in leather coaches.

Hey everybody! Any help would be appreciated identifying this crossbody, what this particular print is called and when it was first released. I really like it. Please and thank you.

It's a woven fabric, not a print, and was very common starting about 20 years ago after Coach switched production of their fabric bags to China (Signature C bags were never made in the USA) along with the larger "standard" Signature C pattern. There are probably thousands of Coach items in that Mini Signature or Mini Sig fabric available on Ebay and other reselling sites. I can't identify the exact style of that bag but it's some sort of Soho Mini Sig Swingpack between maybe 8 to 20 years old.

ETA - Here's what might be the same or a similar style, 44178 from 8 or 10 years ago, the "Z" in the style number means it was made for one of Coach's retail partners such as Macy's or Dillard's in the US.

Soho mini sig swingpack. There may have been a few similar items with different style numbers but one was 44718. I thought it was from about 2006 but don't quote me on the date.

Arrgh! And I was sniped this time.

From what I've been able to figure out (based on where I've seen them), the "Z" bags are styles that Coach made in the past, sometimes MFF and sometimes FP. If they have extra fabric or if the styles are popular or if there's anotehr reason, they make them with Z in front of the style number for the discounters like Nordstrom Rack, TJ Maxx, and the like.

I've never seen Z bags (with Z in front of the style number) in full priced department stores, whereas I have seen E and M bags (with E and M after the style number) in department stores.
