The next time I go to FP I am going to ask them how coach plans on disposing all the FP bags that are made that don't sell during that season. It is not like LV and the same bags have been made for years like the speedy...do you think coach will go to that kind of marketing plan? Where the classics never get discounted and they hike up the price?

If it is true that Coach really intends to only introduce only 4 collections a year, I would be happy. I think the time between a style is introduced and deleted is way too short. I think that because they kept making more styles, they had to delete even styles that were selling well just to make room for the new stuff. As a consumer, it was nice to have the variety, but it really wasn't necessary. Coming out with a duffle in three shades of yellow, for example, was overkill, and ensured that some of them would end up at the outlet.
I believe they would either have to have sales in FP stores or on Coach.com, or just hang onto leftovers until they sell on Coach.com, because I think there are a few customers who will call asking about an older style. If they keep collections in the stores longer, maybe they'll sell a higher percentage of them.
I agree they delete the styles too fast! I asked if Macys would sell the same line bags or if they were having a line for department stores like exclusives. They said Macys would sell the same FP bags. If the FP store doesn't offer sales, and outlets no longer get the deletes the only way for me to get a discounted bag might be at Macy's.
I don't think Coach will let Macy's undersell them. If Coach will be making fewer lines, Macy's will also have less incentive to move inventory as fast. I've bought a few bags at Macy's but I ended up returning some of them when they ended up cheaper on FOS.
They make all kinds of predictions that never materialize.Sorry if this is old news. Today I went to the full price store and we were talking and I said something about a bag I recently got from the outlet and one from FOS and I only buy the deletes. They said wow you know our lingo. Then they said that the new coach business model the full price bags will no longer go to the outlets. That this fall the outlets will no longer sell deletes, and outlets will only sell MFF. They said sadly the borough bag will never hit the outlets, (unless it is a return). Sad day for me I wait for bags I like to hit the outlets.
About 4 years ago (or more), I was told that they were going to stop handing out 20% coupons at the door and they'd only be sent via email.
Not only did they not stop handing out 20% coupons, but they increased the discount and continue to give 30-40-50% coupons as well as additional discounts. And they don't send coupons by email any more.
I saw many seller on eBay sell Coach mini Tanner with the same price as Macys and Lord&Taylor
Does anyone know where they buy it with the lower price because they need benefit with selling something
Please let me know
Thanks everybody

dang it, now i'm wanting a madison skinny in cornflower blue or love red. Argh can't decide.
lols, silly, they buy it at hbc/lord and taylors when they have their appreciation day for seniors. Extra 15% off on top of the 25% discount off deletes. Drag a older senior along that has the hbc/lord and taylor store creditcard. Remember to bring your chequebook along. Afterwards hand senior cheque for exact amount and pay the bill off instantly at the till.. Senior gets to earn hbc reward points from your purchase. You get to save money.

Hi Coachies! I'm brand new and in awe of all your collective knowledge!
I have a question that may not be in the right place, so please let me know.
I purchased two Coach bags secondhand- M0669-10719 and M0669-10721. When I search them online, I find hardly anything. Are they not an authentic bag, or just wildly unpopular? It just seems odd not to find anything on these two bags, which were purchased separately.

Without seeing pictures, we can't authenticate them but when you search, only search the style number (right of the hyphen). The letters and numbers to the left of the hyphen are the month/year/plant codes and can vary, depending when and where the bag was made.
If you want to have them looked at for authenticity, please post here:

hmmm, yay? I earnt 20 dollars worth of points i can use towards a coach purchase at a department store. Except i'm not sure if i can redeem them towards an hbc giftcard.
I'm stupid worried the Bleecker Daily Shoulder bag I ordered won't get here before I leave for my trip. I ordered last week and paid for faster shipping - the website said the estimated delivery day was Wednesday. Well, it's noon Tuesday and the status is still in the warehouse! My plane leaves at 5:45am Saturday morning. ***frets***
I've seen that status before and it still made it to me by the correct time. I think that sometimes they don't scan it at all the nodes like they are supposed to. Don't worry too much!
some folks didn't believe me when i told them coach doesn't charge canadians more in their fp stores, but the same pricing americans get charged. xDD, like is it really true? lols.
Coach is under a new management model so I think what is being said is true. You are going to see many changes - this being only one of them.
I agree. In fact a lot of the predictions we hear seem to be nothing but rumors.
No more bags at the outlets has been rumored for the last few years, and they are still selling them. Plus, the biggest outlet of all, the FOS, has been selling them online for the last couple of years.
The rumor that the FP Coach stores would carry no bags under $500, hasn't come true, far from it. They have many new styles that are in the $300 price range.
