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.

My quoting skills are subpar, but I wanted to thank both of you for such quick and detailled responses! I found an "X" within the black interior tag - does this mean the same thing as the "Z?"

LOL! I was going to mention the X that (at least in the past) used to be stamped on creeds but I thought that would be too confusing.

Apparently Z items are also ineligible for return to or repair by Coach as are the X stamped creed items.

The bag, arguably, seems to be higher quality than any of the newer sig pieces I've touched. It feels thick and durable. I'll attach a picture of the "x" I found:

I don't think they're of lesser quality. I think Coach just sells them to their retailers considerably lower than they'd normally sell (even at wholesale to their partners) so it's not cost efficient for Coach to warranty those items.

Does anyone have any idea what this is? I’m completely striking out. Thanks!

I've just purchased this 4157 buckle bag for $30 on ebay and Beenburned has kindly authenticated it for me. I'm guessing that the color is Kiwi and Brass (?) but I see many different shades of green for this bag on the internet, in dark green, bright green, lime green, and almost white mint green. Does anyone know what the real color looked like and do you think that this one is faded? Thanks!

The Coach website shows lime as a color for this style in June 1997. The 1998 Spring preview ad mentions kiwi. Since yours was made in 1996, I think it is lime.
 
Thanks, Whateve! It looks so different in the other colorways.

I posted it a few days ago in the authentication forum but I guess it got lost in the shuffle. Is hat something you could help with? Thanks again!
I can't help with authenticating newer styles like this. Maybe you could bump your original request (quote it and mention that it was missed.)
 
Hi everyone, I would appreciate any info on this bag I just got. I believe is authentic so I have not posted on the Authenticate... thread.
Pre creed with metal tab, any official name for it, style number, age (I think from the late 60s, early 70s?) , did it originally have a hang tag....? Any input would be appreciated because I tried to find info already with no luck, just a picture on Pinterest of a black one. TIA

(measures about 9.5 x 8 x 4 inches).

Hi everyone! I was hoping to get an ID / authentication on a Coach bag I recently picked up. I have not seen one similar to this, so I'm unsure if it's a fake or authentic. The stitching, Coach leather badge, and leather seems right, but I'm no expert. Any help is greatly appreciated!
